Yipes thinking again, not good.

Hello again. Sitting here contemplating how to finish a painting I have started. As a young student at my first art school I learned many technical (pre-computer technical) ideologies which needed to be forgotten to when painting. They needed to become innate so the painting could have a natural flow and strokes of the paintbrush. I had forgotten the part of the learning that needed to be automatic. Need to stop thinking and just paint.

You know expanding or exploring new avenues for your art takes courage doesn't it? I am trying to grow my style to a more intellectual and emotional style and struggling at every step. Not with the painting aspect but the accepting of the move. Fear takes over and not wanting to be rejected is insurmountable. Silly I know but very human.

the artist in you

If you are an artist it is not a hobby it is a life pattern, as a mother, your faith, or as an artist. You communicate with the results of your creative thoughts and decisions.

My paintings take a life of their own. I sketch and communicate with them mono chromatically with ink or pencil. I usually do a color sketch trying to decide on a color theory - limited palette or explosive, then suffer the consequences of paint and how to explore the vast potential of the limitless medium.
