Ich arbeite in der Spätschicht und an manchen Tagen komme ich nicht gerade um vor lauter Arbeit. Normalerweise mache ich immer jede Menge Scribbles mit dem Kugelschreiber aber gestern hatte ich ´zufällig´ein paar Sachen zum Malen dabei. Nachdem es für eine gute Stunde ruhig geblieben war machte ich mich also ans Malen. Sobald ich den ersten Wash begonnen hatte, gab es natürlich doch Arbeit und das zog sich dann auch weiter so durch den Abend. Das Bild ist also ziemlich unkonzentriert entstanden und ich hatte mehrfach den Eindruck, ich könnte es getrost in den Papierkorb packen. Ich habe dann aber doch noch versucht es zu retten. Okay, es ist nicht mein Lieblingsbild geworden, aber gemessen an den widrigen Umständen bin ich nun im Nachhinein doch ganz zufrieden. Ich habe wieder mal festgestellt, dass es gut ist, jede freie Minute zu üben und habe auch hier wieder ein paar Dinge gelernt. Und die Arbeitszeit verging um einiges schneller als normal.

Very moody and I like this one, all of it. I tried to pick out my favorite parts but can’t. Your style is very special and I am intrigued by it. I think I would like to study your paintings and I know that I’ll learn something from you.

You are too kind, Margaret. Thank you for looking over my paintings – it is an honor to me. Actually i still feel i am a beginner (which is a good feeling). I did spend too many years with doing other stuff. I should have been painting instead. The better it feels now since i came back to it. Any new painting is an adventure for me and there a so many things still to explore. Most of the time i am not really happy with my painting results – but the moment of painting makes me happy.

I am glad that you are back to painting and I relate to your not being happy with paintings, I struggle with that all the time. 🙂

It does not feel like a struggle for me. I am satisfied with being happy while painting – it keeps me going that i am not satisfied with the results. The process of painting is much more important to me – the more i enjoy to adore the mastery of other creative people. It did take me a while – but now i can enjoy it much better this way.

Ah….I meant that I am not always satisfied with the results (that is the struggle), I didn’t explain myself. At least it does press me on to more painting! 🙂
