Painting is a lot like meditation

I was thinking yesterday, while I was finishing off a painting, that the act of painting is a lot like meditation. You're there busy for hours in solitude, quietness, concentrated on one thing, the painting. Then I was realizing that probably the best content for my blog is being thought off right there, while painting/meditating. But I am not capturing it. I should almost have my laptop next to me and when a next idea comes to mind, type in straight away, or maybe use a voice recorder, I don't know.
