What pulled me is the expression of anxious uncertainty the juggler has. It was all an act of course, but I am painting as if the emotion was real.

The Hesitant Juggler - blocking in
Started a new painting after I did a sketch from one of my photographs.

Fascinating sujet. Juggling is show biz, in show biz you don't display uncertainty. You are supposed to be in full control. Which I find boring. That's why I love improvisation. The painting itself contains this tension, as the artist has to be in control - but to be open for the inspiration of the moment, too. An act of juggling on the meta-plane.
Thanks for your comment, interesting view as always, Detlef.
In creativity when you don't leave the door open to the unexpected (by definition not controlled) , you miss one of the main points.
