Hello! Oil painter here! This painting was made and inspired after many years of dealing with my anxiety and possible OCD, and actually helped me gain the confidence/ motivation to reach out for treatment to manage it. I remember wanting to paint exactly how it felt to be fixated on a thought that I didn't want but couldn't stop ruminating on. A loud, panicked rush of internal thoughts in an otherwise calm, still outside appearance. "Fixate", 14x18", oil on panel.   submitted by   /u/tinytinatuna2   to   r/MadeMeSmile [link]   [comments]
