Why I love painting

One of Jean Paul Sartre’s characters said “…Hell is other people.” I realized today that the reason I love painting is the same as the reason I love going for long walks or playing my guitar and other solo activities. It is because I don’t have to deal with other people and can feel free and at peace. I have left the Facebook group and I doubt I will be back here again. I’m pulling away from the internet because I don’t think it is healthy for me.

I am deeply fascinated by the feeling of time accelerating during the drawing process.
