The Creative Journey...and Me...and You

What I really like about painting is the buzz that I get whilst the painting is taking shape. The buzz when things just happen. It does not matter how well planned a painting is or how many 'studies' have been done...the paintings that I enjoy the most always take a direction (or detour) that I was not quite expecting.

That is what is most fun about the creative process.  When it really works well you discover something that you did not realise was there.  Of course, it can also be incredibly frustrating...paintings that you felt were really going to work out well can turn into disasters.  And this is not just about technique (although that can clearly play a part). Sometimes it just does not work for me.

And then the really challenging thing is when someone else sees one of your disasters and tells you that they really like it ;-) Aaaaaarghh!
