What I've Learned From Becoming Addicted To Painting

1 Every creative project is like the #butterflyeffect. Change one early move, and the entire vision moves in tandem.

2 #Patterns exist in everything, some simpler than others.

3 There is no such thing as #artistsblock

4 If you leave a project for too long, the moment is lost, and you'll have to resume with a whole new #energy.

5 It takes 10 minutes of subconscious randomness for the rest of a painting to #create itself.

6 Public favorites are voted up by flavor, not by nutrition. But #classics require both.

7 Every #painting suits someone all to well, and many people only a little bit.

8 Intent to focus on a single theme or a technique is more fickle than #fashiontrends.

9 The longer you paint, the less you care about #approval and the more you care about #process.

10 #Color is a language without slang.

11 The #subconscious mind will speak audibly, if your #conscious mind is busy enough that it thinks you won't hear it.

12 Art captures moments in a way that technology cannot, and speaks to the tune of #dreamers.
