The drop bears are a dead set, fair dinkum, true blue legend, mate.
People need to be warned.
Especially clueless tourists.
We consider it our duty as responsible Strayans.

Drop bears aside; considering we also have a species of gum tree that will kill you dead without warning (the widow maker) it's a good idea for people to keep an eye on what's above their head anyway.

Nice art, Raleigh. I wish I had your tallent. I painted a lot when I was younger but the results were almost always too cartoonesque for my own liking.

Raleigh, the painting is gorgeous. Absolutely worth finishing! I hope you feel better. i don't know how i could have gotten through some of the worst of my depression without meds. If you need something, you need something. There's no shame in that--we put casts on broken legs so they heal. But i don't know you well enough to really advise you to take or not take meds for it.

You have to know, too; you know your body and mind...i am not trying to talk you into something you don't want.

i balked at taking meds for years but after taking them and beginning to recover from an approx 10 month depression I wondered why i hadn't done it sooner. It took a long time to get back to functional. For a while, i thought i would never be the same. I still have some things that have not come back completely, 3 yrs later. But i am pretty good and have learned to work around the things that are not so good.

I think you should keep painting, it is really beautiful.

Your art is like a "real artist."

Have you received any formal art training?

LOL....I'm friggin' jealous of people who can look at something, then paint that something exactly like that something! You have a precious talent. Fair Dinkum and all that!

I like you Raleigh, not that that really helps with the whole self loathing maggot. Where can i view your art by the way?

There's a link in the previous page of this thread.

Thanks for the link. Looks really good, not just a visual representation, has a real sense of personality and mind at work.

I'm feeling much better today.
Trying to keep busy and focusing on other things instead of those thoughts has really helped, as well as the support I received here.

Hugs to all.

Hugs to you Raleigh! I am glad you had a better day today.
