I really feel like I want to get back into painting. With photography, I have my doubts that it's really worth the effort. The problem with these sorts of things is that I really need to have a relentless, single minded focus to get anywhere with it. All the work I've had putin, to gradually work my way towards getting a professional salary has made sure that it would never work; with it needing to pulling me in several different directions at once. For quite some time I've been completely apathetic towards this work, and now I'm having great deal of trouble hiding it. I feel like I need to do something else.
I don't know what would happen if I put an all effort into something now. Last time I did was probably around 2002. I have a few paintings planned out that have languished for year after year. Technically, they're absolutely daunting, which has made them easy to put off. If I had to guess, each one would take a month of full time work.
