Wah, drattit!

Why is it that buying a particular art supply instantly guarantees that I don't want to make that sort of art??

I bought two sets of white pastels, and was rather pleased when they arrived in a their own special little boxes.  They are nice to use too, very silky smooth and slick to apply.


And then I was tempted to buy a stylus for the touchscreen on this laptop, and have another go at digital art, not that I am any good at digital art really, but why not?

But then I started that last painting in acrylics again, thinking it would just be the one, and now of course I want to paint more acrylics, although I am very low on Titanium White, which is absolutely essential, and quite low on useful titanium buff and near-essential yellow ochre.  Pif.   But no doubt if I buy some titanium white, I will then be guaranteed not to use it.

Oh well.  I suppose it doesn't go off.

It works like this with everything for me. I could go to enormous length to get that one book right now and then, the moment I get it not feel like reading it right away anymore and suddenly be into some other book.

They do look very nice!

I'm also familiar with that cycle of whatever-it-is, which is an annoying cycle.

I have two film cameras in a drawer. Both with film in. And batteries. Same reason ...
