This is how I feel when I am in the middle of a project, in this case, re-doing my website, and I’m not familiar with the software, and there are too many choices, and the directions I’m following are three years old, so nothing matches, and I decide, screw it, I’m just going to do what I want, and all the while in the back of my mind I’m thinking, “I just want the work to already be done. I hate learning new things. Just leave me alone in my corner, sitting in a puddle of ignorance. I’m tired of all if it!”
This painting occurred to me while I was doing yoga of all things. I thought it was about feeling transparent, but it turned out to be about feeling inadequate to the task at hand.
Here are the progress pictures. I included a picture of the pastels I used for this painting.
I try and rebel against tech stuff every now and then. It doesn’t get me very far. LOL. We artists have to wear many hats.
I am looking forward to the time when I don’t have to be my own IT department, yes indeed.
I am really enjoying the progression shots you have been including lately.
I feel for you with the website re-do — there are a lot of days when I feel like working with the computer is an issue of two steps forward, one step back. It kills me that it can eat so much time.
Yes! I keep telling myself that once everything is in place (and working properly) it will make my arty life more efficient. There’s a payoff around here somewhere. I just have to press on until it shows up.
