This pent-up creative energy inside of me is making me crazy. Photography in itself has opened me up to others in a way I never knew was possible. Although I thoroughly enjoy using the camera, there is a part of me that remains trapped creatively. It's difficult to explain. I cannot paint. My handwriting is horrible due to 25 years of working round-the-clock on a computer keyboard. I hate to handwrite anything. In fact, when asked to do so, it aggravates me. I have always envied painters, as they could create their art with their own hands instead of relying on a 'device' such as a camera. Painters are true artists. My photography doesn't completely satisfy me creatively. I'm always on the search for ways that I can release more of the creativity within. The graphics tablet is beginning to help me with this. There is a huge learning curve. Debating for the last month about posting my 'early' tablet work, I have decided to "put it out there" for all to view and to critique. This is just one more of my New Years resolutions coming to fruition. We'll see where we go with this.
