Thanks, Dinah. I'm not sure about my not doing things badly, but I definitely can't accept the way the models have approached it.
If I push through the dread of people esp. people looking at me as a misfit, or pathetic, I should take classes or at least go to the sketch classes at the Art Students League. Maybe I can find it in myself to do some still life here by myself-- that's hard, but maybe. Vegetables are just I don't know kinda too something-- don't know how to explain.
I hope the Art Students League is the way it used to be-- falling apart, full of hangers-on, down and out people who love art, but are out of place everywhere. I did kind of like that and felt almost at home. but I wasn't me now.
Also it's the new improved ASL now-- so maybe everyone is improved too. Not that there weren't real students, but it was a strange mixture of up and comers and antiquated hulks with rent control apartments and falling-apart lives. And odd people inbetween.
Maybe even taking a painting class. I'd like to start to paint again more. Maybe. Don't know. Maybe I wont be able to do it again.
Right now, the prospect of working with a model on my own pretty much horrifies/depresses me.
But I appreciate your encouragement.
Jost
