"Pool of Darkness"

Chronic pain can make you despondent and as a sufferer of arthritis and fibromyalgia for over 25 years I find dealing with pain is like riding a surf board -- I can get thrown into the debilitating turmoil that is pain along with fatigue, brain fog and depression at any moment.

"Pool of Darkness" represents the times when I fall off my surf board and am unable to claw my way back to the surface. Painted in layers, the gold underlayer represents myself, the blue is the colour I use when meditating to take away the pain, but I am covered with the darkness sucking me in, clouding my vision, preventing me from staying positive - lost in a "Pool of Darkness."
