Analysis of Ponderings from a Pretentious Painter
I prefer painting over writing.
I blend backgrounds, form fine lines, and mix matching colors
To create a remarkable replication of a reference image.
A finished painting produces feelings of fulfillment.
I smile, simply satisfied with the masterpiece I made.
A finished written work never truly feels finished.
I struggle to search for the right words and find phrases that fit.
Structuring sentences is more strenuous than stirring
Shades and hues of yellows, reds, and blues.
I never know if I’ve written something wonderful
Because it can always be better.
Writing means endless editing.
Painting means perfect, polished products.
