tərˌmoil

been having some bad energy in the studio as of late, or at least that what i have chosen to call it. i go in to work and just end up pushing paint around for a couple hours or starting something serious working on it for a bit then painting over it. im having trouble deciding on what to actually paint.. the past interiors i have been doing now feel empty in a way. this came about once i began to really think about if i am that connected to the images, above just an aesthetic level, enough to devote materials and labor into making them paintings. my solution to make a more connected interior painting was to paint an image burned in my head from childhood, an image of my grandmothers fire place(painting seen in a post below). but after working for a period of about two weeks on the piece i was left with something that i do not feel that close to still, the idea is still very important but the real struggle is getting the idea, that is perfect in my head, out; out onto paper out into words out onto canvas..

i really have long since envied those people who can just sit down and just start making something weather it be drawings or paintings. i guess i need to just accept that i don't really work  like that.. i love paint and i never want to distance myself from it but the idea has been creeping closer and closer. this is my outlet.maybe its the holidays, the holidays in another country away from my parents and brother and friends..

tur·moil
ˈtərˌmoil/
