Funny, that's one of the few "styles" they reject outright.

Doesn't suit their guidelines as it's a reinterpretation of two other artists' works (basically combined them). One of them is exceptionally well-known.

Reminds me of a yard sale we had when we were kids. My Mom put out a couple of canvases my Dad had done in some art class. He had a fit but the worst part was when my Mom said "well I thought someone could re-use the canvas."

LMAO! (Not at your dad's artwork, of course.)

Oh they were horrible. As I recall they were blocks with different shades of the same colors. Must have been some kind of assignment. His ceramic creations were also, erm, interesting.

One thing I like about woodworking is that when you make something that you know is completely horrible, you can always use it as firewood.

No, that was my second reaction. That boob was the first thing that struck me.....

And I know the thing to do is just do it. But then my resistance wouldn't be irrational, would it? And I'm irrational about so few things that I tend to be clingy in their presence.

You know - you don't have to paint "something". You can just pick up a brush and put color on paper. Then another color - and maybe you mix them a little together - or maybe you don't. or both. Just play with it. That, to me, is the fun of it, even if you don't end up with something you want to keep. The process itself is still enjoyable.

Didn't mean for this to turn into a Talk Alex Through His Insecurities thread.

The short of it is that I don't want to paint badly, I want to paint well. That means I don't want to go through the "learn to paint well" part. Similarly, I'd love to be a great dancer, but not enough that I'm willing to go through the being a sucky dancer part.

Yes, it is essentially that childish sentiment of "if I can't do it well, I won't do it at all" carried into adulthood. And that is the irrationality I speak of. Also, it is laziness; it would suck to put in the work and then find out that I didn't like it even if I did get good at it.
