46 Pimlico Road does not exist but it is a deralict building that I go to when the pain and voices start. I escape the real world and wander waround this building. It is quiet and forgiving. I can be myself here without worry and I’m isolated. I feel better in 46 Pimlico Road

The Atacama Desert, Chile

I took this picture because it made me feel free and happy.

I took this picture because it was full of detail and it made me feel happy.

A portrait drawn with tea; talking with a cup of tea can solve almost any problem.

I feel better when I breathe

Life is so very beautiful

I feel better when I see life in colour

My only friend on a windblasted day. Rhossili Bay Gower

Sun rise over Swansea Bay

I am happy when I can chat with the cows. Sometimes there’s things in my mind that I find difficult to find the right words with people, so to offload I set off to talk with the cows. They listen and are non-judgemental. Well all they do is eat grass and pose for photos. It helps me find the right words to talk to humans.

I am happy when I am out in nature, listening to the songs of the natural world. Mixing photography with being outdoors helps with my concentration when it is non-existent.

I feel better when I keep moving forward

I feel better when I expand my vision

Alone I stand against the night surrounded by the folk who love me.

I’ve got your back. c2015 by Rob Chapman (EILF)

Without you I am strong but with you at my side we are a force to be reckoned with.

I feel better when I am…..taking things slowly.

I feel better when I am…..standing surrounded by the beauty of the world.
This is the start of what became an amazing sunset over Beacon Hill, an act of natural beauty.

I feel better when I am ready to roll. That great feeling of putting your boots on ready for everything life throws your way

Realising that you are your home. Maintaining yourself and especially your mind gives you boundless freedom in life; to travel and explore from the safety of your ‘home’.

Inspired by this poem by Mark R Slanghter
Upon a fuzzy vista – vision blurred –
I tried to focus; nothing ever solid
Came to view, but undeterred, I blinked
An eye to try again. Through the mist
A coloured hue; polychromatic flames
Had flickered at a whim; a rhythm bore
A thrumming too: a naturalistic hymn.
Behold! Were I to find a synonym to
Reproduce or recreate
The apparition of a butterfly,
Evolving through the waning vapour,
Drawing on a sigh from this romantic.
Glory be! The raging sun above
Had fired his furnace, flaming off
The hangers on. Now I saw the flare:
His time has come. He spread a tortoiseshell –
A scene of Mother Nature at her best.
I lay in peace in knowing I was blessed.

I feel better when I am immersed in nature

I feel better when I am grounded

When there is nothing to stop me daydreaming and I can watch the world around me, I feel better.

I made this in the youth centre at my college, and when I made this piece. I made lots of friends in the process.

I love sweets and chocolate, they are my solution to when I feel down, and they make me feel happier. This art work shows my favourite sweets and chocolates.

i like drawing it makes me feel positive

I enjoyed creating my landscape using Blender. I find it easier and more enjoyable to create digitally with 3D modelling, than with photography or painting. The outcome of the piece was a complete surprise to myself and it thought that it looked better than what I had envisioned.
