#18. LIMITATIONS (Reflection While Painting “Buon Appetito!”)
Painting—Strawberries
Reflection: LIMITATIONS
For some, art can be infinite. For others, it signals natural or man-made limitations. Art takes money and time. Some have a lot of both. Most don’t, so vacillate and negotiate—try to obtain and balance the two. Art takes money to create, it also takes money to buy. Art takes time to create, and time costs money, as well as a whole lot more. How much a painting costs might not be commensurate with the amount of work that’s gone into developing it. The power to paint and the power to buy come from different sources, but are intertwined. What’s fair and what’s not change according to who we are and what we need and can realize . Awareness matters, as do tenacity and being able to go the distance.
