Cleo, in progress! I'm thinking about painting in her whole pile of toys! Any thoughts from you famous artists? Or, much more famous and well-versed in the finer side of painting, artists' suggestions? I keep thinking that not everyone who views my work is manic like me... Maybe I should simplify my compositions for "normal" folks? When I get going on a piece, I'm not finished until 3 years, 9 months, 65 days and 215 repaints later! . I think part of my mentality is the fact that I could never afford more canvas, so I used, used and reused not only the canvas, but the whole concept of the piece.
. So many times in the past I have regretted painting over a work, or overthinking it...
Even this example, which I began day before yesterday, has gone too far...I loved it so much the night I first laid it down that I couldn't stop giggling with delight at how I had captured her essence! Then, as I have continued to rework it, I have the sinking feeling that I lost her beautiful light, and that maybe I have diminished her somehow... Booo...🤨🤔😪
. Have any of you ever experienced this? When you second guess or rework the background too much?
How did you stop? Handcuffs?
. If no body responds to my queries then I will really feel like a flop...
