The expression of self

I have noticed that the most sensitive souls retreat into art to lose themselves, or rather, to express their deepest thoughts. Art can be more eloquent than words and as I grow older, my speech is becoming more tempered as experience teaches me that sometimes there are no words left to say. My paintbrush reveals a different side of me- one that remains private yet to the astute eye, most revealing.
