Yesterday I was swimming and thinking about a painting I wanted to start in the studio.
As I often do, I started painting with my mind while I swam laps.
I took my finger and started to paint. Wait a minute!
I want to paint on a canvas, not an ipad!
This would be fun to talk about.
What’s going on here?
Yeah for these explorations! Belated H. B. and Mother’s Day! XO, N.

So many ways to create: in the mind, with our fingers in paint or on an ipad , or clay, with a brush on canvas or paper. On and on. Which will it be?

Picasso tried them all.

Good question! All these apps have so many goodies …however to me it’s always diving in real pigments. Nothing can compare to that! Happy diving [whatever it is you are diving in!] 🙂 xx

Yes, it’s funny trying to adjust isn’t it? I’ve just started wielding a brush again – I love the fact it takes time to paint and no time to “paint” on a tablet.

I heard drawing and painting described as slow art. Great! Maybe a painting will pop up on your blog for Karen and me ! You are going to shame me into getting back to painting.

I think it’s great to try all methods of creating. I wish I could dive in real pigments as Marina likes, but I am not a painter. I still love trying out different techniques in photography. Great, thought-provoking post, Carla.

And it’s always near me on my cell phone. I’m working on keeping near me, my old friends pencil and paper.
