It’s well and good that you host a community. You are functioning art wise, and take the time to provide good suggestions. I also paint in between doing other things. For instance, when I finish this comment I’ll go paint some, and then stop to get outside to watch the trees.
Some mornings I wake up with dread for all the world’s pressing down on us, and feel the last thing I’ll be able to do is apply colors to paper. But then I sit at the easel, stare at the blank sheet, pick up yesterday’s pigmented brush, and instantly forget everything but what’s within my few cubic feet of surround space. My whole body adjusts and commences creation. It never seems to fail me. It’s my way out of dissatisfaction. I believe if I ever stop painting for good, it will be because I am wholly content.
Thanks for reading and thinking.
