Putting off Painting....
I think he's looking for a mate...
How does painting get pushed so often to the end of the To Do list? Maybe it's because painting is a gentle activity that never insists for one's time. It awaits you, when you can't resist any longer. Like that piece of cherry pie in the kitchen, it calls you softly and from the inside.
I finally yield to the effort to make something arising in three dimensions into an eye-catching and memorable two-dimensional piece. When it works, it feels like a minor miracle. When it doesn't, the shelf life is short.
One solution is to take a class in painting, preferably one where the instructor pretty much leaves you alone. Then the sense of an appointment with art opens the door to the joy of painting. I always hate it when class is over...
