Create vs Technique

Week four just complete....
I have made it through so to speak...
Though, "create vs technique", do compete...
I look forward to the day when they will meet...
On that day, a goal will be of reach, that will be a feat...
Right now "to create" will have to take a seat...
The oft forgotten technique, needs to eat...
Be patient I say, This is not going to be neat!

Oh, the technical stuff....... For most creative people, we struggle with disciplines, technical know how, and numbers.  So the creative side of me is having to take a back seat to all the afore mentioned items. Which, if I really think about it, is really why I came to Hallmark in the first place. Their teaching of the technical is awesome and I am learning  many things that I did not know. Wow.... All my realisations  from last week remain. It is becoming very clear that my technical skill needs to catch up. And I can see it doing that already.

This past week we got several assignments back. I did all right, I guess. None of them were perfect. Deep down this frustrates me. But it gives me room to improve, fix the errors, and fill in the gaps. To the right is an image taken last week. Full of errors and imperfections. But I love it.

So, next time you raise your glass. Raise it for the tension. That we all love and hate.
