Glad you enjoyed the painting! It can be really fun and relaxing once you decide not to be harsh with yourself about the outcome.

I'm a 'try anything once' sort of person, but "Lovingly and gently let a thought or memory go" would drive me to violence.

Like, oh, of course! I should let it go. How did I not see in all these years suffering from crippling intrusive memories that I should just let it go. How did that never occur to me?!
