Trite but true, I hear you. For what it’s worth, I have changed my pallet. More muted grays of all variations. Using water based oils - blending more. Not so much drips and runs. More confined and meditative. Almost like modeling clay on canvases. Less splash and dash. Less frenetic. Just a thought only an artist would understand - inner peace through paint.
Interesting, insightful, blog…as always. I also have noticed more anger inside myself. I attribute it to having more time to myself, fewer outside distractions, that are allowing me to be more aware of situations/interactions around me. I believe this is healthy to a degree, Vs stuffing and/or ignoring, i am facing the anger. I’m trying to be purposeful in handling my anger instead of it leading to resentment. I don’t want that. The world is definitely in a state of turmoil…I agree, be aware of what’s happening and then know when to turn off the tv/radio/social media. My heartfelt prayers for the courageous Ukrainian people, their leaders, the neighboring countries who’ve so generously opened their doors, those who have traveled there to be along side them, and also for the innocent Russian people who are bravely protesting against their government.
