I no longer feel able to paint for the shear pleasure of it. I sure hope this passes with graduation. I think much of it has to do with school. It just seems to be mising something for me. I do feel tremendous pleasure in making paintings out of non-traditional materials like felt and wax, but the thrill is gone right now with me and oils. It feels more like an unpleasant chore right now. I’m taking a 6 week painting intensive class this summer. I’m hoping it’ll rekindle my love of oil paints. Who knows, maybe it’ll just solidify my feelings for other materials. Here’s hoping I get to make some fun stuff in that class. I’m excited to find out.
Painting for pleasure
