The Problem with Paint

The problem with paint is beyond the materials.
She knows how to handle acrylic tubes, fiber brushes and stretched canvases. You see, the problem with paint is beyond which color to use, what mark to make or even how to find the time.

The problem with paint is that it reflects the painter.
Rainbow palettes show her indecisiveness, low contrast shows her uncertainty and mushy planes show her unwillingness to commit.
She is fearful.


But she forgets that painting is on her side.
She forgets that painting reflects her fortitude, her thirst for beauty and her willingness to be in process.
She is strengthened.
