Paintings don’t have to be about big, important subjects but, like many artists, I can get stuck agonizing over what I should paint. Time creeps by while I ponder genres: still life? Portrait? Figure? Selfie? The more subjects I suggest, the harsher my inner critic becomes: “You’ve done that before.” “You’re not interested enough to do a good job of that.” “Find something original.” Ennui sets in.
What a great post. And I miss classes with you. Ended up having to postpone our trip to Feb, and not sure if that will pan out so basically going week but week. Take care and keep on transforming the subject matter to an uplifting piece of art. And if you ever sell demos please let us know
Ingrid- once again thanks for another great resource…love the apples, the video, the sage wisdom, hmm those blossoms look familiar…enjoyed your Winslow class! Miss seeing new renditions of your mother each week LOL Hope you are well and staying warm!!! Love the mark making as always…
Yuval is heading a class at Penn Studio…hmmm…you should reach out to them…do you teach only at WAC….Does Bato always wipe back multiple times on a canvas?
Thank you! Thank you!! I spend more time agonzing on what to paint than painting! And..not even the artist you are! You made my day!
Love this post and your thoughts. I'm resisting the impulse to gush but I am enthralled by your work.
