Was this for real? Could I be the target? Or


I am reaching the point in painting where my current style is no longer fun. I paint for fun. The act of creation is a rush for me. I'm not getting that rush anymore. Did I really get it painting landscapes? Does the depiction of some historic building in paint create a high? I'm not sure. I think that I get the most fun from things such as what you see at the right. I call it "freebased visual drool" or FVD. When you draw from a stream of consciousness uninhibited by restrictive thought. I drew the images as they came to me. A simple rectangle reminded me of a house from a birds-eye-view which became a view of the neighborhood form the same view, et cetera. But is it art? I don't know. Does it have to be or is the manifestation of thought on paper. At any rate I'm going to be painting more expressionistic works or at least less representational pieces.
