The Painter0
One night, The Painter kept waking up from his sleep. His mind and body was fibrating so highly that his happiness affected his sleep. That condition was similar to his experience in his adolecent period when he heard that the next day he would travel with his parents to another city. Going by train was somethiing new and special.
He got something new and special when he was doing his painting, when he was practicing the techniques of broken colour, under paninting, and dry brush. Mastering those techniques made him have a greater freadom.
With his greater freedom, he was able to break through his mental barrier which had been hindering him to invent a new style of painting, which held him from innovation. The theories of perspective, colour, anatomy, are useful for a painter. Yet, it can be a barrier to make a break through. Mental break through, invention, new experience, success: those were so important for The Painter, and those were the sources of his happiness.
