Today, I realize I have trouble sending my paintings out into the world to be seen before a certain period of time has passed. Over this waiting period I will bring my painting out and observe. What am I looking for? I view it for its emotional content. I try to separate myself from the art spirit that I once was when creating the piece. I usually find that what I once thought to be imperfections are now what make the painting unique. I think one of the most difficult lessons in creating a great work of art would be to never see your painting as a painting.
I challenge you to allow some time to pass before evaluating your work. I think you may be surprised to find new ways to see.
