Oh my goodness I love paint!
Work, the computer stuff that is my job has been very intense lately. Just modeling and texturing, but there is a lot to get done… busy busy busy so that is 32 hrs of my week. Then there was my precious Tuesday when I have my my largest chunk of painting time. I got going on a quarry monotype , what joy, after a little I was so involved with the making of thick painty marks on the plate and the delicious colours smearing together all my tensions floated away. Is this why I do it? (I don’t seem to be able to sell any work at the moment ).When I can get so much joy from the doing how much does the end result matter. Obviously the painting can be a struggle, usually when the image doesn’t work out and I am fighting it, but even then the individual brush strokes and marks can be a joy. I thought the quarry print came out ok, its nice to feel satisfied with the end result even though if I wasn’t I would still keep making those marks.
