Are most artists procrastinators and do they get distracted easily from one project to another (when It's not a commission)?
My, I struggle to keep focused. I get an idea for a great composition one day and start my sketch on the canvas (maybe my problem lies here) and then the canvas sits until I'm in that mood again. I have about 15 unfinished....ahhhemm, let me rephrase that. I have about 15 started pieces and for one reason or another left it and moved onto the next. Hmmmm?
I know what happens... I have so many ideas and want to partake in so many shows that I start these pieces, sometimes even get the base colours down and then while waiting for them to dry, I start a new piece...and so on and so on.
Then life needs to be taken care of...like taking the dogs out for their walk, or prepping a meal (which I forget to do sometimes.....eating right is a whole other blog topic) and the list goes on...leaving my thoughts and emotions sitting on the started canvas's.
How to break this cycle...because most pieces as of lately are not getting finished and I'm not participating in the numerous amazing shows/sales.
Well, I have decided to post these "started Works in Progress" to remind myself not to start another until these are finished first.... do I really and truly think this will help.... maybe, maybe not. I'll just have a long list of wip…..hahaha
Worth a try right? Check out my wip page...and if you feel like it, badger me to finish that one you have your eye on.
Have a most awesome organized day, peeps.
Cheers!
