I would recommend Chopins’ Nocturnes and a painting that is going well. Is it so ridiculous that the world and my mood is so dependent on my painting going well?, yes, because it matters. Its quite comforting to know that that is all I need for the world to seem like a better place. Up until my previous, now deleted painting, there was a consistent upward trajectory. To infinity and beyond?, maybe, with a few dips along the way. This painting is going well and for some reason I keep thinking about Paul Nash. I like his simplification of the landscape subject, although I think his paintings are quite sophisticated in their reduced means.
