Make me stop!

Ever have a vision of a final work that is not quite matched by the reality? Ever been too stupid to realize the reality may be as good or better than the vision?

I have students tell me all the time that their paintings do not fit "how they wanted it to look."

I know that feeling. And my current work is an example. I'm going to take my studio mate's advice and "turn it toward the wall" for a while. A little 'time out' for painting.

Ciao! Jean
