Artistry

I've decided that when I grow up, I want to be an artist.

I don't know what kind though - I love taking photos, but I think that when it comes to using my hands (in drawing/painting/printmaking etc) I need to take my mind out of the equation. That's always been my worst habit when creating - I think too much, and then my thoughts interfere with my work.

Really though, I love the idea of sitting in a room or outside (en plein air) with a box of paints or some pencils and creating something with my hands. Maybe that's a romantic view, but I think that the visual arts are something that can be romanticised and not lose their impact.



Hmmm. Something to work towards.
