I paint for me, although I have to say I've enjoyed making some of my internal workings public. Being creative is my emotional outlet for the stuff I can't put into words or those nagging feelings that keep you up late or keep you in a place of doing nothing. To avoid being tired and to maintain some level of socially acceptable productivity, I paint into the night and drink wine until the pent up emotion is transferred to paper and then I get a good nights rest.
