I can't come to terms with the significance if any of the activity itself --- "just" arranging molecules on a surface such that light of different wavelengths bounces off the molecules and into the eyes of the beholder. <br /><br />Now, is that really the sort of job a grown man should be doing? Fiddling with molecules?<br /><br />Similar thoughts re music: it's "just" arranging bits of matter to vibrate such that the sound waves of different frequencies (and wavelengths) impinge upon the hearing apparatus of the listener. <br /><br />Now, is that really the sort of job a grown man should be doing? <br /><br />And the weirdest part of all is I honestly and sincerely don't know whether I'm being facetious or serious in relation to the above.<br /><br />But if I can force myself to paint, you can force yourself to draw! And I'd very much like to see the output.masterymisteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844831221838590812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203307449470951304.post-61819225057279180872011-02-09T18:21:54.188+11:002011-02-09T18:21:54.188+11:00This is very beautiful.

You're highlighting there are no objective, external measures to help you decide.<br />thanks for your comments.<br />MMmasterymisteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844831221838590812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203307449470951304.post-37194357951769831602011-02-01T22:41:37.802+11:002011-02-01T22:41:37.802+11:00It's cosmic and rapturous as well.It's cosmic and rapturous as well.SHUBHAJIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922572955753398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203307449470951304.post-43942336945895515052011-02-01T16:55:11.958+11:002011-02-01T16:55:11.958+11:00One entire internal wall of a house could be desig...One entire internal wall of a house could be designated for painting on, on an ad-hoc basis. Whether the result is art of just pleasant/dynamic interior decor would be your choice. The pharmaceutical industry might be unhappy due to reduced the sale of tranquilisers and anti-depressants. Also imagine the boost in mental development for young children, e.g. in creativity, recall, confidence. By "boost", I don't imply that we should be thrusting our ambitions and insecurites onto children.<br /><br />Collages made from cut-out words and pictures can also be an interesting pastime.mgeorgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203307449470951304.post-5282967264399759272011-02-01T07:15:24.774+11:002011-02-01T07:15:24.774+11:00Hi Karen, it would be great if you were inspired t...Hi Karen, it would be great if you were inspired to stretch a canvas. You can never have too much art in a world. <br /><br />I haven't got the time, energy or skills to promote my work, so this blog will just have to do. <br /><br />I like working in acrylics --- at least with them you can complete a painting in one sitting. <br /><br />Working in oils requires patience, forethought and serenity --- qualities the quantities of which in my case are small.<br /><br />And by the way, "MAY contain Satan".<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.l<br /><br />mmmasterymisteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844831221838590812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203307449470951304.post-71015411849857589652011-02-01T01:55:43.784+11:002011-02-01T01:55:43.784+11:00I like your work.

You may be inspiring me to stretch a canvas these many years later. <br /><br />I agree on the audio.
