New week, new post

So, Today I went to a new class thru the Emeritus (senior) College. The exercise was to work with blue, white and black and first create colors in piles, then create a sky, then go outside and paint a tree. She suggested painting or drawing with paint instead of pencil. So, I came up with a fair tree and sky and the experience was good for me. I had forgotten that I can actually draw. Maybe because my critic has so much to say about the quality of my drawings, or maybe just fear or maybe just lazy. I really want to get away from the analysis of my work, my thoughts on my work and especially on myself. It really doesn't matter why or how I do stuff, only that I keep trying and doing. The more I analyze the more mired I become in the old crapola. So, what I'm trying to say is that it was good to paint a tree. I didn't think so before I started, but I say so now, IT WAS GOOD TO PAINT A TREE. Everyone said mine was the best and that felt good too, but that wasn't the reason I.......STOP THE ANALYSIS! Thank you. I loved mixing the blues and got lost in the DETAILS (hello, Andrew) of putting in highlights and shadows. Highlights and shadows are the most important part of my collages, as well. I like doing them. That's all, If I say anymore I will ANALYZE I think I spelled Analyze wrong but what the fuck.
