I drew a picture, over and over, to get the effect that I wanted, and because I rarely do that it had the effect of making me want to paint a number of them.
It’s not just that I feel concerned that I have lost my ability to paint. I also feel like I’ve lost the REASON to paint. Or, rather, as if the reason I had before is no longer enough to justify doing so. It’s strange.
Hey, welcome to this page, in which I show you the worst set of paintings I have ever made. I painted them last month. I don’t know why they were so important but they were. If you remember, I talked about how I had become sick and how I could see that sickness in my last paintings. This set comes after that. I was going to tell you that I was considerably concerned that I would not be able to paint again. But actually, today I made a painting and stuck it on the wall and thought: that’s beautiful.
But take a look at these, I do not have so much control over my painting that I can determine what they are like, it’s always pretty random. These ones seem very high school to me. A little shocking, to be capable of doing some so badly. I’ve started painting over bits but I don’t have any confidence that they’ll ever be any good.

Each a different face and tummy Lehan. Is there a particular background here?(Please excuse my art ignorance.)
