Let It All Out

13 Disturbing Works of Art by Female Artists – via Mental Floss

I am all about expression through art. When I’m angry and I paint… oh boy, nobody wants to get in the way of that. Sometimes I will shut myself in a room for a few days and and draw or paint until I feel better. It is like art therapy, kind of. It works out that way though because I get out all of my frustrations and nobody has to deal with it.

Apparently I am not the only one either. I found this post on Mental Floss and was quite amused. Even though I’ve seen these before I never realized they were all painted by female artists. I’m sure male artists can do a number on their canvases too…
