Don't Bore Me! Painter Sergei Bongart is quoted as having said "Anything in art is forgivable - except being boring!" I want to try to keep this in mind. I think avoiding boringness may actually be a source of courage! When you tinker with a new thing in a painting, and then shut yourself down with "oh, that won't work", maybe you're allowing fear to creep in. I remember watching the wonderful Ratindra Das doing a demo in watercolor. He was slinging all kinds of colors around, one color slash right over another, and he'd say :"What am I doing? I'm just entertaining myself here!" And his paintings are so exciting! So...I'm searching for courage in boredom-banishment!
