There's a conflict for many who are creating art. We want to travel a single vision, but yet find group acceptance.
How hot is too hot to be outside painting en plein air? Now in my late late 60s, is it safe in high 80° and 90° temps to paint outside for hours?
I had someone ask me “Why are you painting that?” Ever since that encounter, I don’t paint for paints sake, or for art’s sake. That continues to weigh on my mind- what are we doing?
Why not? What is your hobby? Why do you do it? Do I have to have a reason beyond liking color form contrast line?
@@cynthiamarston2208 Color, form, contrast, and line? Hmm. For me, I want that to represent something meaningful. All artists are different. I appreciate that. However, some 50 years ago when I was told by the dean of the school of art at ECU that with a degree in painting abstract expressionism I could work in the produce dept of a grocery store, I changed my direction in life and went to another college, an academy, a technical school with working professionals, one that taught painting realism and representational art, commercial art and illustration as well. I wanted a career in art. I wanted to learn how to use value, to see color, improve my drawing and painting skills. Anyway, I worked 45 years in the art business. Now retired, my “hobbie”is plein air painting. Geez it’s hot outside!!! Lately, I’m searching for the place where it all happens. Where I can release my mind, find the energy to abstract that color, form, contrast and line into a worthy effort. What makes it so? It could be something ordinary. But the question of why we put paint on a brush and apply it in a certain manner to a substrate is something personal to me and you. Usually, not until time has passed, can I step back and ask why I chose to paint something. Does that explain my comment?
@@cynthiamarston2208 I hope you received my reply. I don’t see it posted here.
I know how that feels. But I think it helps to know that it's okay not to know why you like to paint what it is that you like to paint. There is a reason for it, but if you haven't figured it out yet, don't let that stop you. ❤
