Einstein might have enjoyed the technical side of painting. But he was busy doing other things. In my plein air painting workshops, I often have students who are not professional painters. Painting is, for them, a pleasant pastime yet something they do want to get better at. Some are thinking of retiring and looking for an endeavor they might pursue in what one might call the “next life”; others have retired and already are deep into that pursuit. I always enjoy asking them what they do (or did) for a living.
Interesting! I’ve noticed the same trend among my painter friends, including myself! I was a medical technologist and worked for a medical electronics firm in my former life, yet had an artistic side all my life. Now retired, I spend much of my time plein air painting. Instagram.com/bev3445
