To create is to move into the unknown, to move into the mystery of yourself, to have a feeling, to awaken buried perceptions, to be alive and free without worrying about the result.
But the mind is conditioned to think that it wants a nice painting, a nice tree, beautiful scenery.
No, maybe you want monsters. Maybe you want chaos, maybe you want a mess. Maybe it will feel really good to paint an ugly painting. Maybe that would open your being much more than a masterpiece…
