There is always something to be sacrificed and, of course, most of the time it is art. Anyhow, we won't be good artists if we don't find inspiration in pain as well as joy. Greatest art of all is knowing how to live... and learning that art is a never ending process. Wish you all the strength you need to endure and stay blessed both with art and your wife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124406776749720164.post-78730911026211800452012-03-29T04:02:20.249-04:002012-03-29T04:02:20.249-04:00If I dont have the freedom to paint when I have to...If I dont have the freedom to paint when I have to I feel like I might die. Its not that I am affraid of death, its just that I am affraid of life without that freedom. My work never fails to take me through hell and out the otherside where my entire purpose is hightened by an object that I can no longer claim responcibility for. It becomes something beyond my normal reflective self experience, as if it is of some thirst quenching mystery that I must kneel to or suffer the drowning breath of meaningless life. I know I can be dramitic, but I dont know how else to say it. <br /><br />I became a father 5 months ago here in Iceland. Ive been here for 14 months now, so yes, it happened very quickly. So the boy was born. Amazing. Easiest thing I ever made. Masterpiece. Because of him, my heart needed to completely take over. <br /><br />The way I had been working for so long started to become boring. Colours wanted to come in a different way. I eventually started actually enjoying myself! The Canvas I´m working on, thought is kreeping back into the driver seat and a resulting heart pain. Part of its birthing process no doubt. Its demanding my full attention. I could not leave it a couple of days ago when my partner needed me to look after the boy so she could go to her meeting. She was very angry. I couldnt help it, I had to work. I needed to feed it, or something, or it would die! Shit, I sound like a crack addict. Of course she didnt understand. That whole night we didnt speak. The next morning I left early to be with the painting. To work on it. I couldnt think of anything else. Usually I take the boy for a couple of hours in the morning so mama can sleep a bit. He needed to feed after an hour and they fell asleep, so I kreeped out. She was well pissed off. She was tierd, she needed help with him, she wanted me to go shopping, texting me this and that about how worthless I was, selfish, playing around on the canvas, getting angryer and angryer as I stayed and worked... I had to. I tried to explain calmly and clearly, but she didnt understand. Understandably. She saw that I was putting my art before my son. The things she was texting me were really dark, really painfull. In The end I stopped replying. I needed to work. But as you may know. "Happy wife, happy life". I was misserable. The painting was turning to shit, when before, only hours before, I was in awe of it. Its like, without her blessing in the mornings, I cant paint properly!! Well it all kicked off when I got home. Seems I press all her buttons. We tried to talk, but Wow she was angry. Triggered alsorts of stuff in me. Somehow by the grace of something beyond me, we eventually found echothers hearts again. I think Im gonna take a break today. Been up since 4. Morning baby duty coming up. Still there is a faint cry of distress, audible in my heart, coming from the canvas down town. Maybe I can get her blessing today, and everthing will be fine.Nikhil Kirshhttp://www.nikhilkirsh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124406776749720164.post-33404932827220291292012-03-27T08:02:18.178-04:002012-03-27T08:02:18.178-04:00Oh Ive, you always move me with you kind words, Iv...Oh Ive, you always move me with you kind words, Ive is my sister from the heart.
