Another stressful subject.<br /><br />Hey, just think. If painting was so easy and relaxing, we'd get bored with it. Thank God it will always remain stimulating, good or bad. When something finally works, isn't it soooo worth all the aggravation? And how about sales? I know we forget about those, since they're pretty much nonexistent these days. But they're pretty cool too. Cool is not relaxing, soaking in a hot tub is. Perhaps we should try setting up our easels just outside one so we could sit and paint. Hum... maybe you could design this. You'd get rich.Susan Rouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811139850899265798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096142183312311738.post-1950317927353446362011-01-26T22:47:15.136-05:002011-01-26T22:47:15.136-05:00my friends and family always say that painting mus...my friends and family always say that painting must make me happy..well only if it works..most of the time it stresses me out.

Sometimes<br />I feel like my painting activity is going to turn me INTO a mental patient. All the things you mentioned, that tweaking that screws up what was good, the colour that mixes well but looks completely WRONG for the image on the canvas, and all the rest...I go through daily. I am now semi retired. I don't really have to go out in the cold and snow to trudge to my studio. Yet I do, every day and allow myself to be abused...by my own self.<br />Wouldn't have it any other way...Karen Martin Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180294856179918446noreply@blogger.com
