One of my friends who is a teacher, posed to her elementary schoolers a question What makes a painting good? A variety of ideas were answered and I had a chance to see the papers. They said, it needs sincerity, personal characteristics, or it should be something the painter likes. Among them was a noticeable answer that perfectly fits into my idea. It says that a good painting is completed with no give-up of ones own idea. It sounds quite simple, but that has never been easy to me. The depiction of an idea as exactly as an artist wants it to be, seems to be far from being easy, due to the inherent elusiveness. Sometimes I feel like taking a detour but it always ends up with restarting from the scratch. No matter how much time it takes, it seems desirable to face a problem squarely. To fulfill my own needs like scratching an itchy spot, is one of my reasons of painting.
