Things That Bang

I want to paint the world but lack the talent. Day in day out I produce crap. Tore one painting and threw it in the bin. Next two I filed away in my art file under the tag -uglier than flesh splashing down a tiny thong. Little bit of humor is necessary to ward off frustration. Today was no different. Another mistake made and another moment of -'I gotta stop putting myself through this shit' surmounted.

Maybe my ugly file will become the fat lady shaking happily in the tiny thong. Maybe I will let it all hang out and snuff that little jeering jerk of a voice snickering at my pathetic attempts to produce what painting books ramble away so effortlessly. Humbling experience to suck so bad at something but a bone hard streak of determination won't let me throw the towel in.

Nothing spectacular to produce and blog about. But providence worked through my cousin (an artist if you must know) who pointed me to Danny Gregory and his art is personable, gorgeous and his advice -encouraging.
