There are exactly four characters drawn in my mother’s painting, which are consistent with four family members, indicating that in the In my mother's subconscious, she pays more attention to her family. My mother said that these four characters do not represent anyone, and I am not one of them. It doesn't matter that I am the one looking down at the painting, because in the psychology of painting, as long as you draw people, they all represent yourself to some extent. .

Tree -

Overall: The tree represents growth experience and career. The position of the tree is generally on the upper right, and it is cut to the right. There is not enough space to draw on the paper. , it means that during the growth process, she was greatly influenced by her father and is easily influenced by men. She may also advocate authority and have a certain desire for control, so the mother will choose a father who is relatively docile in character as her partner, so that the family will be more harmonious. There are also certain expectations in terms of career, but the lines of the tree are painted back and forth, and it can be seen that the mother has great anxiety and uncertainty about her career.

The crown of the tree is umbrella-shaped and larger, indicating that it likes to protect others and provide protection to others. The top of the tree is a bit pointed, indicating that it has certain leadership abilities.

Tree trunk: thick, indicating that it has received a lot of care and support during the growth process, and also represents full of vitality. The trunk is relatively upright, indicating the ability to think abstractly

There is also a swing painted on the tree. In the psychology of painting, this is quite special. The swing represents the yearning for beautiful love and the memory of golden childhood. Maybe my mother is also nostalgic. At the same time, the swing hanging on the tree also shows that the mother places the most important part of her life on her family or her father. There is also a painting of a person swinging on a swing, which also has a special meaning. It may mean that sometimes, in order to face pressure in certain aspects of life, my mother inadvertently makes people around her feel the pressure. This requires the mother to be aware of what the stress is, where it comes from, and then how to relieve it, or find someone close to communicate with it.

Attachments -

Suggestions to the artist: I heard that my mother is not in good health at ordinary times, so she can do more exercise to keep her body healthy. As you slowly become stronger, your energy for action will keep up, and negative emotions such as anxiety will be improved. If the mother is interested in self-exploration, she can also read some related books and push the edge of the knowledge base, which is also very interesting.

I put the three paintings together and observed them. The three paintings give people the same feeling. They are all beautiful and warm pictures of life, and they are relatively rich in their hearts. Judging from the size of the tree and the thickness of the trunk, the parents received good love and support from their native family, and their son TAKUMA will receive even more love and support.

TAKUMA has a similar personality to his father. In the same picture, only his wife is drawn, which shows that they love their wives very much, and their mother’s maternal love is great. She Attention is paid to all family members.

The pictures of TAKUMA’s parents are relatively symmetrical as a whole, and it can be seen that the two of them get along very harmoniously and warmly. But it can also be felt that the intimate relationship between husband and wife needs to be strengthened and more attention should be paid to each other's inner needs.
