The Struggling Kind

Jean Pierre: Art I not always 'at it' in art?
Marina: Yes, Shakespeare, you are. You have to live it. In fact you have to live IT so much
that you never have any spare time to actualy live.
Jean Pierre: If I paint quickly maybe I will.
Marina: You can only paint as quick as the canvas will dry. The painting always changes in
the drying process.
Jean Pierre: I know, it always starts to paint itself.
Marina: Moreso, it starts to paint you. Tells you what kind of painter you are.
Jean Pierre: I know what type I am. The struggling kind.
Marina: Yes, Time hasn't been very kind to you. It hasn't caught up.
Jean Pierre: I suppose its better than being behind the times.
Marina: I knew a failed artist like that once. Had a blog called Modern Art.
Jean Pierre: Not very original.
Marina: Oh, that wasn't the original title.
Jean Pierre: What was it?
Marina: Art Modern.
Jean Pierre: Isn't that the same?
Marina: No, the two words are totaly different.
Jean Pierre: Sometimes this Art lark baffles me.
Marina: You invented it!
Jean Pierre: Me and my kind, yes.
Marina: Art is a bit like paint that runs. You can't control it.
Jean Pierre: We are always chasing new ideas.
Marina: Like a puppy dog in a tale of shadows.
Jean Pierre: Should that be my next title?
Marina: Maybe. The title's been painted. Now you have to compose the story of the painting.
Jean Pierre: I'll know when its done, it'll be when I'm fainting.
Marina: That's your secret, is it?
Jean Pierre: Yes, an inexhaustable amount of perseverence.
Marina: Its a shame modern art collectors haven't the same.
Jean Pierre: Perhaps that's why that Modern Art blog didn't get known.
Marina: I think the author's still trying.
