Hi friends,
Last week I wrote about self-expression in poetry, and this week, I wrote about it in painting. Among other things, I wrote about how painting can be a form of externally-focused meditation. I'm really happy with how this post came out, though it's difficult to summarize, and I hope that you'll check it out.
Self expression in painting: The allure of emotional watercolor
Unlike when I write poetry, when I draw or paint, I don't care all that much about the outcome or the effect of the work on others. I enjoy the process and sometimes I enjoy the outcome. It's possible I can be so free and easy about it because I'm not very skilled, so I can't actually control the outcome anyway.
Thanks for reading and see you on the internet!
