Ominous

This is my painting depicting the battle of Bipolar, especially depression. The light blue ocean represents the good times that you've been in and the storm represents the encompassing darkness that is inevitable. The ship is being swallowed by the darkness and though the calmer seas are in sight, they are unreachable. The ship is being blown by the storm to the side but it also is a symbol of the ship reaching toward the light. Hoping to be consumed by its warmth but knowing it soon will be swallowed up and this warmth is more like taking one last gulp of joy in before the darkness comes. The storm is big and the end is not in sight with it just getting darker as it progresses.

I'm not by any means professing this to be anything special, just the work of a mad man at 3am one night.
