My artist friends, once you begin a painting do you feel you have to finish it before you can begin another? If you can't see your way through it, does it become a block?
I've been listening to Nelson Freitas, Still Feel 4U , very chilled out and did help me to finally finish this landscape. : )

It's a gorgeous landscape with beautiful clouds and light . I always have a lot of different paintings in progress , and when I get a block I just move onto another. Sometimes months can pass by before I am able to finish it . Wish you a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, now, that sounds like a great way of working!
ReplyDeleteStarting a painting is my issue but yes, finishing too! And I sometimes feel as if I mustn't let the painting defeat me, which probably isn't very helpful. I'd like to do what Jane does but I'd end up with too much unfinished work... In the end something shifts and I just do it.
ReplyDeleteSorry, forgot to say, love the breezy feeling in this, Azra, and the light falling on the fields is great.
ReplyDeleteThe is a very beautiful view tou caught, the freshenss is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell, I do come across the block often, I have to finish a piece if I start one and that is a bad habit!
Well, you needn't have worried, Azra, you've made a beautiful job of it. So serene and you've captured the English landscape beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love this soooo much.
