Regarding painting...no pressure, no diamonds
Currently my painting style and direction leans towards abstraction with a measure of photo-realism — along with a dash of Pop Art sprinkled on top. But boy can I be one frustrated painter. Some days the paint can just flat beat me up. The tools are limited; a Mark Wegner, Painter - www.markwegner.com brush or palette knife, tubes of paint and some paper or canvas. No Photoshop to add embellishments or fix mistakes either. Plus 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 practitioner of an oils or acrylic-fueled, sado-masochism pursuit. There I said it. I feel better already.

However, at the end of some days a painting victory is worth the battle. Probably among the most satisfying events of my current creative life.
