killamch89 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'd much rather be Da Vinci just making masterpieces that can be sold for millions. Why would anyone want to be rat race slave. Which one would you choose and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Artists need a lot of balance. I used to be one and it gets crazy. At one point I couldn't walk anywhere because drawings and supplies were all over the floor. I prefer simplicity. Art requires a filling of the well. 'Fill the well' phrase from The Artist's Way. I live in the middle of nature and I'm surprised I haven't picked up art again. I fantasize about it, being that guy with an easel drinking wine. But...Damn I need to try it one last time. But I'm scared of the insanity that ensues. It becomes an obsession. I don't want anymore attachments. I probably don't even have the mind for the level of detail anymore. I have to try one last time...I can't; you can't. you can't. I have to man...why you stopping me? I'm not stopping you, I'm trying to help...Like last time? That was a different time...What makes this any different? Because you have grown. Just try one little drawing...But I shake now. You always did...I don't have supplies. You never did... Yes I did. No, you carved life with your own hands...That doesn't make sense. Art never did...I can't. You already are...But...But what?Shit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandraJoi Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I would rather just be & stay me. While it would be nice to have other talents, I don't want to be somebody else. People can adapt to situations & even their jobs & learn to turn off the noise & confusion when they get home & learn not to dwell on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
