To me, it's the "work" or going through the process of creating a work of art is what gives me complete satisfaction. Dan, I’m sorry you feel that way about your art.

Lisa, I definitely agree about the euphoria at the end. In fact, the last 20 minutes or so of every painting is usually a lot of fun, just putting the finishing touches on. Henry, I'm sorry you don't like my paintings, but I understand that not everyone will. Harriet, I'm glad to hear there are others out there too. : ) And that's an excellent tip on why to paint in a series, Carol. I do that as well (planning several paintings at once) and it definitely helps! Thanks for your comments, everyone!

I find the biggest problem is just getting started. Once I have a painting in mind, I can't wait to get at it. That's why painting in series helps me with the procrastination thing. My current series is aspen leaves in the fall, and I can't wait to do the next one. For me it’s not so much a struggle, as a series of problems that need to be solved.

For a long time I thought something was wrong with me. I have days when the art comes easy, but alot of the time it is a struggle. It is worth it all in the end, however. Thanks for the validation.

There is no passion, no life, no reason for your work. I wonder why you do it. You know what Dan, I have seen your work and it shows. There is no passion, no life, no reason for your work.

I often dont enjoy the painting process, its that "High" I get at the very end to see my finished paiting that keeps me going! I Enjoy your blog very much. Keep up the great work., best wishes, Lisa Lorenz I enjoyed Dan’s submission and I feel exactly the same way he does.
