Yesterday I found mysel painting my shrink, again, without even thinking about it. Dispite a robust to-do list. I think the painting was in an effort to reconnect with the therapy space where I don't judge myself in the way I do outside of the office. As I put myself "in the world" more by teaching, applying for teaching jobs, selling paintings and blogging the harpies scream their disapproval and warnings but in the therapist's office they are subdued. I love how the White Stripes neatly summarize therapy and art making in their 53 second song "little room".

The fact that he wears a pink shirt is a reassuring characteristic in a shrink, to be sure. No wonder you feel so calm in that office! It's a lovely painting, M. Wonderful work.

It is a lovely painting. It even compelled me to click on the link to his website. He may want to know that the white text on the bright part of his shirt is really hard to read. But maybe that obstacle weeds out those people who don't want to really work? :-)
