I keep trying to decide what kind of artist I want to be. It's silly, really, since the decision-making process takes into account stupid things, like "What kind of art is most popular, what makes the most money, what is the most famous, and what kind do I most admire?"
I've decided, just a couple minutes ago, that I'm going to have to just get painting and see what kind of artist I already am.
Why be a realist if I prefer more vivid colours?
Why paint things exactly as they are? I might as well just take a picture.
Why try to paint subject matter that other people like, and be stuck with a drudgery of a painting with no passion in it?
Why do I keep talking myself out of painting before I even begin? !!!
No more talking in my head. Time to just get going, get painting, get disciplined enough to do it every day, and see what comes out of it. Time to find out what kind of artist I am. And time to have fun!
