With the paint brushes, that is. You see, I try to use these delicate, wee paint brushes and get all this detail out of them and it ends up just going all smudgy and stupid looking.

Right, well, that’s the pessimist part of me talking. Anyway, sometimes things turn out looking good, but, not how I was trying to make them look.

I’m just not a small brush person, that’s all. I’m a big canvas person. I need big canvases and big bushes! Then, the details will be small in the wee small prints, simply because they’ve been shrunk down. But, I haven’t the right sort of hands for wee tiny details except with pens and pencils, sometimes.

I think!

Here is where else I’ve been going wrong. I have thoughts in my head, often, that I ignre because i haven’t got the money, or the time, or the talent (maybe) to pursue them. Well, not the talent- the thought processes. The know-how of tecnical aspects. Things that stand out in my mind, that are half sculpture, half painting – or weird little objects sticking out of walls as 3-D modern abstract-realism thngies. ..or .. or .. well, never you mind!

The point is, I have to do at least some of it I have to make something more than what I’ve been doing, something that is MINE.

And, then, I have to stop people from abusing it , and dogs from peeing on it. lol
