On Not being Able to Paint could as easily have been called On Not Being Able to Write.... Sculpt.... Compose...Dance...Think...Create. It is a work that will excite and challenge anyone eager to learn about the nature of the creative process. Joanne Field, author of A Life of One's Own, a classic in the field of self-exploration, here turns her keen eye and eloquent pen to how the creative process is freed and what interferes with that freedom. A psychoanalyst by day and "Sunday Painter" by night, she brings both talents to bear in her journey of discovery. Using Painting as a metaphor, she explores a series of "Free" drawings she found she could produce in a way entirely different from any that she had been taught.
