"I Hear the Ocean" 8x10 acrylic on canvas |
Malachi 3;2 - But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap.

One of the lessons I have to relearn repeatedly is to know when to call a project finished. I have a bad habit of trying to correct every perceived flaw in my work. Getting into a refining frenzy usually doesn't end well. I usually wind up making worse mistakes, getting utterly frustrated, and either starting over again or chunking it altogether.
Minor changes are a fun part of the process of learning. These aren't mere corrections, but a nearly OCD-level of repair. This steals all the fun out of creativity and tempts me to hide all evidence I made the attempt.
That is no way to create.
