Regarding painting...no pressure, no diamonds.
I'm one fustrated painter. Every day I paint it beats me up in one way or another. The tools are limited — a brush, tubes of paint and some paper or a canvas. No Photoshop to add embillishments or fix mistakes either. So perhaps I'm not really all that frustrated but rather a willing practicioner of an oils or acrylic-fueled, sado-masochism pursuit. There I said it. I feel better already. Fortunately, at the end of some days a painting victory is worth the battle and among the most satisfying times of my creative life.
