G'day Guys n Gals! I have this dilemma. I often ask myself this question. If I was the only human on earth but could do whatever I want. Would I still paint? There's a lot that goes into this question for me. Some would say yes it's all they would do. Which I get. Only other artists understand that feeling of electricity that comes when we nail an artwork. That flow state during the process where we totally disconnect from the world and engage with the project in front of us. Shading around the eye giving depth and symmetry then standing back and saying Whowa! I did it! that looks awesome. Now being a truckie for years and a chippie on site, I'm pretty rough around the edges but I do believe. So when I think about this question, Would I still paint being the only human on earth with no one else to see it? I then think of the scripture that says don't hide your light under a bushel for no one else to see. Out of context I know for he was talking about faith but I'm talkin about art... I'd love to here you take on this? Would you still paint if you were the only one to ever see it? For me it'd be yes. That feeling.... It's hard to describe but if you've ever had it.... If you know, you know.
