Mo tells me that I should do a painting a day if I want to improve.
She's always reminding me that medical school took hard work and lots of practice and tells me that painting is just like that.
I personally think I should be able to paint wonderfully despite no innate ability or dedicated practice. Really, having kids who regularly shove their dad's pillow in the freezer and a little boy who jubilantly pees on his sister's leg "because now I have a backyard!" should count for something in the fine arts. Life is so unfair.
I love those paintings BTW.
Yes, and I should be able to do paintings because I love them so. Also music.
However, if I could believe I would get better by doing a painting a day [not truly great, just better], I would definitely do it happily.
Of course, we'd have to find time and space, but now you have your wonderful knitting room to be creative in, so please do try to find the time and please do continue to share.
