The challenge is to make it different from the last quad I did. When I paint for people, I don't want to produce a lot of duplicates. That's boring. After all, I paint for fun, not because I have some great artistic vision. I combine their vision and my enjoyment and try to come up with something that will delight us.
Hopefully, I will never go off the deep end and cut off my ear, or paint with sheep's blood or carve revolting sculptures. While that makes art deep and interesting, it does not induce a person to hang it on a wall.
I received new paint this week, some from Kristen, and some from my wonderful colleague and boss. Remember when you were a child, and you opened up that new pack of Crayolas? Or the new set of markers? I looked at those paints and thought of all the fun to come with putting it on canvas. I wanted to play Christmas music in the background.
