Hat and Peonies

I would have preferred painting to drawing this hat and the fake peonies on my wall. Painting is like meditation. It is all consuming of energy, time and attention. My ideal painting endeavour is that day and night should be seamless with time being moved only by thoughts and ideas associated only with producing an outcome on canvas that I am happy with. Ideally, I should have the time and the solitude to paint. Ideally!

I would have preferred painting to drawing this brown straw hat and the fake purple peonies that have been in that position on my wall for months.
