Daily Painting: Fun or Work?

Daily painting

Dear readers,

 

Today I created a new piece of collage paper. Since I threw all my old paintings way at the end of the year, I now have to start all over again which making material for scraps. Which is nice to do!

A thing I noticed today is that it felt a bit like work. I am planning to create an online course about collage making. Which I love! It is so much fun to experiment with video-making. But it is a bit stressful too. I hear myself talking to the camera… So making this collage paper this morning while video-ing it, made it a little bit more ‘work.’  Which I don’t like. (I LOVE my work, but you understand what I mean…) So I have to figure out how I will do it. Do my painting practice in the morning, without any ‘productivity’ in mind. Or try to combine it.

We’ll see!

 

Bye,

    Your mention of questions and wonderings brought to mind a quotation from a novel I read many years ago—I’ll send it to you soon.

    Love reading your musings and wonderings here, Simone. So many great questions, and I’m so impressed that you’re venturing into videotaping while painting to create an online course. Way to go!

      Thanks, Dotty! It’s like a travel in a whole new and unknown country!
