Dai you were right, ...Painting is much harder; maybe not to learn but =
to do....
I am a full time fine artist. My main interests are painting and =
pottery....I got my first set of acrylics at age 12....When I found =
pottery making it was like a load off my back...When you sit at the =
wheel with a lump of clay and spin the wheel and touch the clay you have =
done something....You have broke the ice....dived in with both =
feet....You go somewhere from there and ....VOILA.....kickass art!!!!
Now try a painting......Blank canvas staring at you ....Soon you =
hear it laugh at you....It says, "Why paint if you can't best your last =
effort?".....It asks?."Well?"......"What you gonna paint mister art =
genius?"
In painting you must have some semblance of a motiff....Pots help you =
along, give you ideas, and even often try to tell you when to stop....I =
have never signed a painting while it was in my possession...There is =
always one more layer that could work, always a different shade =
needed....
Some people eat clay....Eating paint will kill you
Potting makes you happy....painting makes me pull out my hair and =
sometimes I have to cut off my ear....I hate it when that happens.

Dear Antimater,
You wrote "Potting makes you happy....painting makes me pull out my hair and
sometimes I have to cut off my ear....I hate it when that happens.
You sure had me worried when you talked about cutting -- glad it was your
ear and not your snakes or other body parts.
