When it comes to creating art, is there ever enough space? I have more space than you say you have. I let my art take over my living room and I even put my big dresser from my bedroom in there behind my art table thinking it would hold everything and let things look much neater.... well.... It is full and stuff is STILL piled everywhere. LOL.... whatever space we have, it seems we can fill it.
I hope for you one day to have the space you desire.
More space = More art. A minimum of space to just have supplies available to use and access without spending all my time setting up and trying not to ruin my bed and sheets and and everyday things... I don't have the luxury of spilling paint or splashing anything anywhere at all. There's a lot of work that will never get made. Absolute silence and writing nothing gets me ignored online and talking about my real life situation just makes me look like an idiot. I'm not a writer creating a world through text so...
Do I think I'm special or something? No.
But with the space and supplies I could paint huge canvas like this. In college I was painting this size. Not as many as this. I could have kept going... well. Now I've lost the plot again. God it's impossible to explain anything typing with 2 fingers. I will just say I have some sort of autism adhd ocd spectrum or whatever thing going on and it's not a gift for typing or writing. Now I feel like complete shit.
Anyway thank you for looking at my work and taking time to connect. :)
Wow ! I can't imagine painting that huge size. Of course I've seen it online where others do it and have done it in the past, but there is no way I have space either for anything like that.
I rent my house, so I also have to be careful with splash and splatter. I have thought in the past, when I was doing all painting before collage that I would love to have a place where it wouldn't matter about splatters on walls and floors so I could show the energy I felt. I've tried to do it with the art inside a box and different things and I got some neat outcomes a few times, but still nothing like I would like to do. I know it is different for you and me, but I can't imagine I will ever have a space where I would have that freedom.
You have mentioned the spectrum before, so I understood as best I can in a general way. It's interesting when reading about the past and current artists, how many are/were on the spectrum in some way. Seems that sometimes totally enhances some people's artistic tendencies/abilities.
I didn't allow myself to spend lots of time painting and the such till later in my life. I don't spend lots of time regretting the past, but I do sometimes wish I would have not gone the traditional/expected ways when I was a young adult and would have just pursued art of some sort, any sort. By now, maybe I would have been very good at it. BUT.... we don't get that kind of do-over.... do we??
I do my posts on my computer. I don't mind short texts on my phone, but in general, I don't care for the two finger typing either... ugh... so I get you on that. I know a lot of folks on Hive do their posts from their phone and love it, but not me. I don't even have Hive accessible on my phone.
You say you are not good with words, but I have noticed you have added a few more words to your posts here and there than you used too, especially when talking about your art. I call that progress.
The collages you usually show us are very attractive, in the purest use of the style. We admire your ability to produce them. We hope that at some point you will tell us something about your work. Thank you and best regards, @rossfletcher.

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I'm 67 tears old. I've been a visual artist that entire time. Explanations and words about art are not what I do. That's not easy to explain. Perhaps a timeline of influences and showing work from the 60's up until now? That might show something... But not really. I don't mean to be obscure or uncommunicative. I'm just not a writer. I enjoy talking with people about art unfortunately that's not possible online. To be honest I would rather people look at it and see whatever they see without me putting thoughts into their heads.
