Who's to really say when they are DONE? Studies count too.

Can't move on until I finish one and if (like right now) I am stuck in the middle of it without a great finish...well, just stuck...telling myself it must be finished before I start something else. Hence, I sit there and stare at it, go looking for other ideas to wrap it up, beat myself up for not having the whole thing worked out in my head ahead of time, etc. I tell you, Peter, it is just as much of a curse as yours. Even worse. At least you have a pile of mostly finished gorgeous paintings sitting there. And most of those do look more finished than you must think. <br /><br />Great work, as always, Peter. I really enjoy your blog!Cheryl Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894307477506374497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-39236969309281044622010-05-27T13:47:54.721-06:002010-05-27T13:47:54.721-06:00Now, you see, I read this and looked at the photo ...Now, you see, I read this and looked at the photo and thought, I've only got five paintings on the go - that bloke's got <i>loads!</i><br /><br />This may not be the intended moral of the story.Rich Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389869753996834665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-74563734327006792242010-05-26T06:32:34.855-06:002010-05-26T06:32:34.855-06:00As long as you think you're done with the pain...As long as you think you're done with the painting, there's nothing to stop you from doing something with those peonies. <br /><br />A lot of these do look finished. <br /><br />Although I understand the annoyance- I always see something nicer to draw in the middle of something yet to be finished.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614708045479814888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-67105491042441115662010-05-23T09:14:07.750-06:002010-05-23T09:14:07.750-06:00I vote for "doing something with those peonie...I vote for "doing something with those peonies outside..."

Much as I understand your wife's viewpoint I think you have to do things the way you do things. Don't change anything. You're exceptional just as you are.
