Why?
Hello Legends! Just curious as to why? By that I mean why do you have a drive towards your art? what is it that's behind your motivation to create? Yes as artists we want to improve of course and see ourselves get better through practice etc but is it to just look at your art in your own home? To sell it and make a living from it? What is it that you want? Is it just the fact that it fulfills you? If you've ever experienced the ZONE.... you know what I mean. That place where time disappears and you're immersed in the painting. The flow the feeling the energy. Music in the background quietly playing or loudly. I love it when everyone's asleep and I'm in my little studio area painting away, can't beat that feeling. You and the canvas. What drives you to paint or create? I'd love to know and get the conversation going as this will be your grounding your why!

Good question Ben! Maybe to bring nature's pictures to life through my eyes. I used to take photos but that wasn't enough. So I started painting my photos and that brought them to life. And yes, the zone is the place to be , when something takes over the brush strokes, its mystical. I love to give my paintings away to all my friends or people I meet who share the experience of what we saw. I'm homeless at the moment and staying with a friend, but there is thee most beautiful pink flowers in her garden so that is my meditation mission this weekend! Will share it if I do it!

All is well Ben and all is good. I am a traveler, so I often end up somewhere in between jobs and countries. I am trying to make painting my next job somewhere , so, let go and let God, is my motto ! I am intrigued with oil painting, is it brighter than acrylic? Maybe I could work for an oil painter. Let's see what happens in this year of change! How is your bitcoin painting going ?

G'day Legends! Here's a painting I did last night instead of watching Netflix!. I was inspired and thought how could I use my art skills to bring more awareness to bitcoin? I love the old nostalgic art especially cartoon takes, like The Pink Panther and Precious Pup, Scrooge McDuck and of course the monopoly man but as there could be copywrite issues this guy is obviously a Bitcoin enthusiast and his name is Baron Bitcoin! I tried to get as many bitcoin terms and motifs or symbols in there as possible. Zoom in and tell me what I missed!

Fantastic colours! Looks great Ben
If you Were the only human on earth! Would you still Paint?
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.
