As I get older I find that some days I just can’t get anything done.  Earlier on today I was trying to think about how to paint a tree and all the energy I had built up trying to think about this evaporated just a morning dew.  Now I’m left not really wanting to do a great deal.

So instead I sat down and cleared out some old images off of the iPhone and surprised myself with some of things that I found – see above.  The images were captured in 2013 but have sat in the KitCam app just waiting to be worked on or deleted.  Well as I couldn’t summon up any interest in painting a tree I worked on them for a while.  It was actually quite rewarding.

Over coffee I discussed my difficulties with my ever patient wife.  As usual she was able to come to the core of the problem – I just don’t get any enjoyment out of trying to make drawings/paintings etc of landscapes,  for me it is the human form not landscapes.  I have spent too many years trying to make landscape photos and this seems to have totally corrupted my motivation to make drawings of this subject.

Well such is life.
