All of my unfinished artwork makes me a tad anxious.
Half painted canvas leaning up against the wall, unfinished patterns on my desktop, art journal pages only half coloured in. All of these things make me a bit squeamish inside. I feel that everything deserves a fighting chance. Slowly, I am learning that they do not.
Sometimes you just have to walk away..
For example – this page is not going to be finished. Why? Because I am done with these flower shapes. I need some new shapes.
If I gave all of my ideas a fighting chance nothing would be completed around here. I need to decide pretty quickly if it’s a yay or a nay. I only have so much time to create. Slowly I am learning to use my time wisely and accept that not all ideas are good ideas.
The pages below are new pages I have been working on. I like them, but they are not quite where I want them to be…yet. They deserve a fighting chance though because I am learning from them and new ideas are percolating because of them.
Also, I am having fun with these. Fun – usually a good sign that things are going somewhere.
I hope this makes sense?
Lots of different colour combinations, different medium, marks and texture, layering….learning a lot from my time with these.
Ok, a bit of mixed media craziness may have been going on here, but trust me, I learned a ton from this one!
Enjoy the weekend!

I feel the same way. I have way too much unfinished art. I either get stuck on how to finish it, don’t have time, or move on to something else. I really like your journal pages. They do look like a lot of fun and if you are learning from them, even better!
I would love fabric in the design of the top right page. Those are great shapes and colors. I like the texture of the orange/yellow paint too.
