Anger is an emotion that can lie dormant for a long time and then explode into violent and destructive behavior. People with anger issues often claim that is not their fault. That they can’t control it. It is what it is. Anger is often described using temperature. A heated discussion. I was so mad I could feel my temperature rising. I felt that given that heat was so common when describing anger the portrait should be drawn with fire. I bought a pencil like propane torch and proceeded to draw on paper. I was surprised that I had a fair amount of control with the torch. Suddenly the paper burst into flames. How fitting I thought it’s just like anger. You think you have your feelings under control and a moment later you are on fire and no longer thinking rationally.
