Something just came over me this evening. I was listening to a few musicians: Jordan Rudess, Jonah Nilsson, Victoria Theodore and I just became so overwhelmed with their talent. 

Many paintings in my life have just been technical challenges, because that’s what I like. It’s like playing a game. I realized this evening while listening I haven’t painted out of instinct ever in my life. It hurt me that I had never tried painting out of instinct so tonight I did it with an “easy” painting, international Sam blue. 

What a pleasure was it to steal this colour from Yves Klein. I didn’t have a paint roller so maybe I’ll get one tomorrow. All my credit to Stuart semple for democratizing colour.

I hate hate hate the texture though. I have cheap brushes that don’t hold paint consistently. Usually when I start off hating something I grow to like it later so I will twiddle my thumbs and see if I grow to like the texture.
