Das Wanderlust! Regarding 'what's going on in my head while I'm painting?' I think you are improvising and want surprises and aren't' so concerned with the finished product because you know it'll be good if you stay in that flow state. Or at least it will be an accurate representation of the process. Your painting seems to be a meditation and you are so practiced it at it you forget ; you are just pushing thoughts out so they don't take you into familiar places. No jazz musician wants to take a solo and play something he's played before. Even familiar licks can annoy themselves eventually. And having a preconceived framework is not counter to the idea. Like jazz songs usually have a melody at beginning and end and a chord structure.
Yepper...improvising is such a great place - it's not exactly here - nor there: it just is...the concern for the outcome isn't really a concern at all - love the moment - love the flow - let it go... BUT - with that said: intent and focus is a predetermined moment (to a point...) refined, redefined exploration from our regulated soul - the views from the pathway definitely change as we proceed through the moment but alas - it is...what it is...our path.
@@artiinsideout Word. I guess that sort of explains how the Art and the Environment connect - through the Mapquest game. You predetermine a spot but randomly as you can, and therefore no decision making, only observation on the journey? And if that can apply to the grand journey of life...?! Do you research the spot much before going? Some would be googles ing the whole area and making spots to stop or finding the best 'selfie spots' others have shared. LOL
@@joephillips7612 don't laugh - but, of course I research every spot - I think that's part of the learning...In the second episode it was really interesting finding out about the baker's girl whose life was taken...not all quadrants offer a special story so, I guess I have to make the best out of each one...I have a plethora of stories from each mapquest...but, I think it would be too long of a video to include all
@@artiinsideout i get it. The selfie kids trip me out though. Some of them get off the plans and go to those spots and thats all they care to know.. I'm obsessed with the history of areas and mega researcher. In the last 2 months I have learned tons about Panama, Puerto Rico, USVI, and parts of Mehico. I even joined FB groups of expats living in those places so I could hear (in English) what folks think of it. I feel like I have lived in some of them already. One thing is clear: i need to create a journey so I have a path to enjoy the views from - some adventure while my knees and budget can handle it.
