Its like sound waves in a wall. The sound from Beethoven's music he played in a concert hall in 1800 are still in the walls. What does this say about what is in our minds?

One time when I was out painting with a group a fellow painter wanted me to paint standing behind him. I told him I wasn't interested in painting that specific view.

He thought hat I could learn a lot by watching him paint. Now this is a very kind and generous thought. But...

I'm having trouble enough trying to paint what I do want to paint ... without adding all this other stuff to the mix.

That's wild about Beethoven's sound waves! I believe that is possible. Even though, I'm a writer and you're a painter, we both need a creative outlet. So I can understand why you didn't want to watch another painter paint, just as I wouldn't want to watch another writer write!
