ART IS A FUCKING PAIN IN THE ASS


Started painting again last fall, after taking many years off.  Did a few awkward pieces that I convinced myself I liked, then a few pieces that I actually DID like, then bought a big length of raw canvas and tore most of the completed pieces off their stretchers to start again.   Sat around for a few months doing nothing, figured it was time to quit while I was ahead, then had a minor epiphany or a slight aneurysm, or maybe a bad reaction to something I ate at the Thai restaurant.  Something like that.  Except for the Thai thing, cuz the food there is fucking awesome.    Anyway, I'm coming at things from a more minimal point of view now, finally managed to paint a keeper.  Until I changed my mind again.
