Author: Being creative is not always fun!
After 6 days of eating and sleeping through 100 portraits it was quite a task to get through the last 15 or so. I stayed true to my aim of not rushing and I kept a steady pace through the whole exercise. What started out as a fun idea soon became work when it took away the freedom of spare time.
However, steadfast determination is one of my traits and I am now satisfied and pleased at having achieved this self-imposed task. At the moment I am trying to turn all of the images into a short movie. Some of the images at the beginning are downright amateurish, but who cares? The final images show more skill and the process refined at about half way.
Anyway, the point is – set your goal and stay true to the end. It is not always easy and it is tempting to make an excuse to give up. Regardless of how glamorous a goal might appear during the planning stages, the execution requires a lot more effort than expected. Watch stories about lone extremists who sailed across the ocean alone, or trudged through freezing wastelands, at some stage, they all wondered what made them do such a crazy thing.
If you are planning on becoming an artist of any kind whether it be a singer or a skilled business person, there is a lot of hard work and persistent effort required. Practice is not always fun!

I was just chatting with my friend about this the other day at lunch . Don’t remember how we got on the topic really, they brought it up. I do remember having a excellent steak salad with sunflower seeds on it. I digress…
