What stress?

I've got the beginnings of holiday stress. I was first aware of it in our art therapy class today when we were asked to get acquainted with watercolors before the real assignment was given. I didn't want to get acquainted with watercolors, I'm in a watercolor class each week. So while the newbies were doing their thing I was aware of everything that needed to be done back home, an hour away. Don't misunderstand, I've loved this class and have taken art therapy classes all year, summer included. But I'm tired now, I have more ideas than I can present to the kids at Juvenile Hall or use personally. So I just dropped orange paint on the paper and it immediately looked like eyes. One even dried with lines, true stress! So I added green hair and then I got into it and voilá, my portrait in the moment!
