She\u2019d been offered an opportunity to do a demonstration for a watercolor organization. First, I must say how wonderful and gratifying it is for me, to have artists in our groups garner responses like this for their work. I am a proud mama-leader to have artists of such caliber in my world. But, there was an \u201cee-gads\u201d in Paulette\u2019s response, which I completely understand and want to explore today. You see, I\u2019ve been asked a few times over the years by various watercolor groups, to do demonstrations too. I\u2019ve had that same \u201cee-gads\u201d response and have always begged off.<\/p>\n<p>My fear is that in a short painting demonstration, people \u2013 likely other artists who are hungry to learn &#8211; want to see <em>magic<\/em>. They want to see me paint a few brush strokes and \u201cvoila! It\u2019s a flower!\u201d But that\u2019s not the way it works for some of us \u2013 Paulette and me included. When you look at our finished work, there is indeed something to it. The paintings live as if they are real. And they often trigger a desire in other \u2013 less experienced \u2013 artists to want to know how to paint like this. For starters, there\u2019s a lot more to how we paint than technique. The images we choose to paint, have striking light and we hope a compelling &#8211; or at least interesting &#8211; composition. For me, I have to sense there\u2019s something <em>there<\/em> in the image, for me to spend all the time I do painting it. But the painting part is mostly quite a struggle. Paulette and I tease that we have to \u201ctorture\u201d our work into being.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4179\" style=\"width: 449px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4179\" class=\"wp-image-4179\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/leaf-detail.jpg\" alt=\"my sorta perfect &quot;mess&quot; of a leaf (on the right) in the process of being re-worked\" width=\"439\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/leaf-detail.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/leaf-detail-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifeinfullcolor.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/leaf-detail-200x123.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My sorta perfect &#8220;mess&#8221; of a leaf (on the right) in the process of being re-worked<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Just yesterday, working on this rose painting, there was a leaf that had gotten too dark and the shadow on it had a hard edge that was really distracting. I tried to fix it which made it worse. So I lifted the whole thing and started over. I\u2019ve painted the yellow green of the leaf \u2013 not as light and transparent as I\u2019d wanted, but it\u2019ll do. I\u2019ve yet to paint the shadow back in \u2013 so now if you look at it closely, to my eye, it still looks like quite a mess. This is not the work and process that I think people are expecting to see in a demonstration. And yet, I wonder if it isn\u2019t <em>exactly<\/em> what I should be demonstrating. As much as mastery is thrilling to behold, we come by it in a mundane, down-in-the-trenches way. This seems to me to be a much more helpful, and even hopeful message than \u201cvoila, it\u2019s a flower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I receive email letters twice a week from <a href=\"http:\/\/painterskeys.com\/category\/letters\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cThe Painter\u2019s Keys.\u201d<\/a> On Tuesday, comes one from the late Robert Genn \u2013 from his archive of posts before he died. His daughter, Sara, also an artist, sends a letter on Fridays. <a href=\"http:\/\/painterskeys.com\/effortless-perfection\/\" target=\"_blank\">Her message from last week<\/a> touched me and &#8211; along with Paulette &#8211; inspired what I\u2019m sharing with you today. She starts here:<\/p>\n<p><em>Carefully curated images on social media of shiny children and food, vacations and relationships presented by normal breathing humans, are irking social scientists. Apparently, the suffocating display of a polished facsimile of human experience without evidence of the associated toil, rather than delivering the desired feeling of connection and love, is alienating us and giving us the blues.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She goes on about the impact of struggle and toil in our art work. I found myself saying, \u201chere, here.\u201d Though there is a part of us that longs to be able to breeze easily through our paintings, it\u2019s mostly not how it goes. For some time now, I\u2019ve held that the struggle that it takes actually gives our work more of <em>something<\/em> \u2013 more of us, more of our humanity \u2013 and thereby imbues the art with another kind of magic that\u2019s hard to put a finger on.<\/p>\n<p>I did an art festival in a big building in Fort Mason on a rainy weekend in November 2007, my first year showing my work. It was a bust. At any given time, the number of exhibiters far exceeded the number of festival goers. The show cost me $600, plus an investment in overhead lights and all my time and effort. All weekend I sold only $40. Because there were so few people there, we spent a lot of time meeting other artists and their work. A lovely woman, a jeweler, came to visit my booth and in looking at my paintings \u2013 Paris Roses and Twin Dahlias were there &#8211; she said \u201coh, you are going to be famous \u2013 there is a real <em>emotional<\/em> quality in your work.\u201d At the time I found what she said incredulous, but I\u2019ve never forgotten it. I\u2019m not sure about the famous part, but that she saw or felt emotion in my work, was the first clue for me that <em>we<\/em> are in our work. I believe that much of this comes through our struggling.<\/p>\n<p>There is another piece coming to me now \u2013 tenacity and faithfulness to our vision, both play a big part. For whatever reason, ever since I started taking watercolor painting seriously, about 15 years ago, I\u2019ve made myself finish every painting. By doing so, I\u2019ve learned a ton. If something wasn\u2019t working out, didn\u2019t please me, I\u2019d try to figure out how and why, and then do what I could to bring it closer to my vision. It\u2019s not always completely successful. There are parts of paintings \u2013 paintings I\u2019ve sold and that are quite beloved by some of you \u2013 that I still cringe if I look closely at them. The overall is fine, but those parts\u2026! Nevertheless, by sticking with it, I\u2019ve kept lots of paintings from being tucked away in a stack in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>I see this at play in our groups. An artist will show me a painting they\u2019ve worked really hard on. Either they are really ready to be \u201cdone\u201d \u2013 or they wonder if they should just give up on it. I or someone else in the group almost always sees something that we\u2019d do \u2013 if it were our painting \u2013 that will take it further along. One of the best parts of doing what I do, is seeing the appreciation &#8211; and wonder, even \u2013 in an artist who is pleased with the work they were ready to abandon.<\/p>\n<p>The seeking of perfection is a funny thing. It\u2019s a force that pulls us along, but it\u2019s also a way we can punish ourselves and reject our work. I wish I could remember the exact situation, but recently I found myself saying the phrase \u201csorta perfect.\u201d It was in response to something that happened that was unexpected and undesired, but which ended up with a result that was actually <em>better<\/em> in the end. As I said it, I was struck by its paradox. Perfect \u2013 as we usually think of it &#8211; isn\u2019t a part-way thing. Perfect is perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Today, in looking at all of this, I\u2019m embracing \u201csorta perfect\u201d as the <em>best<\/em> kind of perfection \u2013 a more sophisticated way to say it is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wabi-sabi\" target=\"_blank\">wabi-sabi.<\/a>\u201d But I like \u201csorta perfect.\u201d Sorta perfect is life, it\u2019s human. It speaks to our vulnerability, as well as carries an appreciation for us and what we do. I want for us all to remember that in any given moment, we are all doing the best we can, with our current skills and abilities.
