There are times when it is best to call it done whether the painting makes you happy or not. The abstract I started a week or so ago is now in its third iteration and it is not very satisfying. For now, I am going to set it aside and go on to something else so as not to keep overworking this piece.
Maybe I will come back to it some day or maybe this is it. Who knows?

I definitely agree with you on the whole "done versus not done" topic. I find myself battling to add more when i've got something good going, and most times, i end up "ruining" the piece, because it is not what i wanted. It's always hard to decide when to stop.
ReplyDeletelooking at it with a fresh look is the best way. theres no rush to creating beauty. Take your time, you're great!
