After working for 6 months on the inside of the garage turned studio we are done .
and everything is different that our first plan.
I had a couch recovered to go into my new wild studio and after I got it back it didn’t work in the new space
I don’t know how any interior designer actually does a story board. Yes here’s one idea but then along the way better ideas evolved , that must happen all the time to designers. Those tv shows make it look so easy , but it’s a process.
With the studio done it is minimalist and clean and it will want to different paintings. A completely different style ,
I will give the studio what it wants. I will do what I need to do .
And it is scary and I don’t know why .
is the caterpillar afraid to go into a cocoon for fear of what comes out. No he just does it because of compulsion.
Oddly as it sounds I’m doing the same thing .
but here is the reality. If it was somebody else I’d be cheering them on but I’m aware of me so that’s something to get over.
it’s been my experience that feeling scared us not self preservation but the fear of pain.
what possible pain could there be in painting something new, fear of rejection ?
That should be so low on the reasons you don’t do something.. That should be the lowest rung on the ladder.
But sometimes that’s the hardest to overcome .
you just have to do it .
I think you’re touching on an important subject for an artist – the relationship between art and reluctance, call it Fear. Maybe fear of insignificance. Good work, it’s good to see a new post!
