Putting emotion in your art

I recently read a very good article by Keith Bond in Clint Watson's Fineartviews newsletter. His main point is if we want to paint with true emotion we have to write about out painting. There are several suggestions in the article but the one that struck me as the most helpful and important was journaling about what we do. Putting it into words makes it so much more real and explainable to ourselves as well as others.
