Now I know for sure I will never use Photoshop…. I was at Apple today buying a back-up hard drive as I have so much art stored on my computer… / The young guy there persuaded me to stop, and said he would give me a personal photoshop demo….in vain did I try to tell him that I’m a painter, not a photographer or digital artist..but he said I might want do photos one day and create all sorts of wonderful images with them… So I sat down and he joyfully started to show me what I could do with a photo in the unlikely event I became a photographer….he was so young and full of enthusiasm, I did not want to disappoint him…besides I thought I would finally get to see what the hoo-ha was all about… The gizmo to cut out…the gizmo to paint…it all looked exciting…then he started to talk about layers…I felt a strange weariness creeping over my soul and I began to see double…my shoulders started to ache and I developed a strange mist before my eyes…his voice began to retreat, as I continued to smile fixedly at him…just as I began to think water torture would be easier, it was over…. I thanked him profusely and told him I would think about it… I now have renewed respect and awe for all you digital artists out there, and all those who are either using or attempting to learn photoshop….take my word for it, you are all very talented and creative, but you must also have incredible patience to work with this far reaching software…..this kind of patience is necessary to acquire the skills with which to master current technology….... At this stage of my life, it takes all the patience I have just to finish a painting..
