This painting is progressing slowly. I think it is important to share the process. I consider myself still pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to painting even though I have been at it for nearly 14 years. If you think that art is genius, I can tell you it isn't. Artmaking is the near compulsive desire to create and create. If you wonder what you might be able to do, I recommend it. There will never be another person exactly like you. Noone will ever have lived when you lived, noone will ever have seen the world through your eyes. The things you say and the marks you make will never be made again. You are important. Art is about the probable and the possible becoming real. How do you know what you can't do until you have tried it?
