Seek Perfection...

6/19/2019

 

"Whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done”   -Van Gogh

Double Arch Cairn, found in Arches National Park. 30"X40" Acrylic on canvas.
​The hardest decision an artist makes is when is the artwork complete.  I firmly believe any artist worth his salt is always seeking perfection. Unfortunately, if that were our goal we would never complete a painting.  At some point we have to make the decision our art is “good enough”.  I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve changed a painting or restarted one, sometimes years later, because it wasn’t good enough.  I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve thrown a painting into file cabinet  or the trash because it wasn’t good enough.
 
Seeking perfection is part of the process being a great artist.
