One thing I thought I was doing with this Betty Krause style of painting (www.BettyKrauseArt.com) for me was taking my time and enjoying the process of painting. I tell myself, no matter what type of art I’ve been creating, to slow down and not think about the end result.
However, after watching the umpteenth BK video, some many times, I realize that I am painting for the end. I realized this today as I was letting off some post-work steam in my studio.
As I sat creating two 8”x8” paintings, one after another – towards the end of the second one I became fidgety. I felt myself wanting to hurry up and be done. I hadn’t spent all that much time on the two paintings overall.
Right now, watching BK, she really covers the canvas with all types of marks. She isn’t afraid of painting over something and starting anew in that spot. She really layers on the marks, taking her time to go through the process of painting. Not being stingy with her paint or her marks.
Why can’t I just sit and enjoy the process? Why can’t I be creative enough to come up with my own creative ideas? Why are my own ideas so lame?
People tell me how creative I am. I am an imposter, to tell the truth.
So there you have it. I have no patience and no creativity.
Regardless, here are my two 8”x8”s I just created.
I hope you are staying safe and healthy.
Imposterly yours….
