Maybe it proves we are human. When I get that feeling I know I am getting close to the end. Grit my teeth and have a little visit with myself and persevere on. If that feeling hits me early on then it probably is a problem with the concept, design, composition or what ever and maybe best to put aside with a little more thought.Gary Keimighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745695573558394342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721364324284272835.post-81857538117892471052009-06-15T17:32:13.240-07:002009-06-15T17:32:13.240-07:00Lindy, thanks for visiting.

As for your question re: inspiration...I hardly every put anything aside...stubborn streak in me to complete... but I also don't start anything else until the 'get up and paint' hits me again.

I'm just in a difficult time crunch at the moment and can't seem to make any headway.<br />Put the work aside facing the wall and don't think about it for a while. Then make a decision with fresh eyes.<br />Peace, DeanDean Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631525256524708326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721364324284272835.post-72056466067020479972009-06-12T02:37:34.167-07:002009-06-12T02:37:34.167-07:00I'm with you on this, I have a shed full of un...I'm with you on this, I have a shed full of unfinished paintings!

I have given it up for dead twice then my wife mentioned it wasn't doing anything for her. She is a graphic designer so her opinion means a lot.<br /><br />I made the hard choice to end it but not the concept. I will do the drawing in a different and more interesting composition and that will ignite the spark for me again. I think that if it gets dull and uninteresting for me then the finish work will be as well. I guess it all depends on how confident you are about the initial concept if it should go on.<br /><br />Good Luck.Dean Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631525256524708326noreply@blogger.com
