Regarding painting...no pressure, no diamonds.
I can be one fustrated painter. Some days the paint can just flat beat ya up.The tools are limited; a brush or palette knife, tubes of paint and some paper or canvas. No Photoshop to add embillishments or fix mistakes either. After an investment of time in any given painting, there's legit pressure in screwing it up. 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 events of my creative life.
