RE: I Never Finish Anything | Oil Painting

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

The title strikes back as a reflection of my own.

This is my theory; as artists, we find it difficult to finish an artwork, as once it is finished, we are obliged to let go. Since most artwork is a resemblance of emotion and feelings, this is something we don't like to do.

This goes perfectly in line with being a perfectionist. Once something is finished, we can't continue to perfect it. This flows against our stream of usual thinking.

Great work Vy! Is it a pie? Because if so... you should share it with people instead of finishing it yourself.

Rubeeeen!!!

Awesome to see ya man, really awesome, it's been a decent spell since we last crossed paths, in hindsight, too damn long. I hope you are doing awesome dude. Upon reading your comment I see a lot of truth in it. I was speaking to another Dutch artist a day or two ago about a piece of art they had sold ((Snek)) She said she wished she could keep them all and was a little sad about selling a piece.

I didn't think of it immediately but I think, think and overthink and later the metaphor struck me that each piece is like a child born of the creative part within and of course it would be difficult to let it go.

Massive apologies to @hiddenblade for using her comment section as a more up-to-date version of friendsreunited I am certain if I promise not to darken her comment section again she'll consider it a great deal, right @hiddenblade?

Have a magnificent year Ruben, one that sees you overcome new challenges, kick the ass of your goals, and find more light than darkness and ten thousand reasons to laugh and smile my friend. 🙂

Your explanation is great benben! My take is that it's hard for us to start/finish a task (and tend to procrastinate) because of perfectionism. We want that important task to be perfect, we are afraid to mess up... that's why we find other things to do to feel accomplished with small tasks.. And those big tasks are left unfinished/unstarted because we think we are not in the best condition to do it at the moment.

I love your idea as well :D

That's a cake haha.. well... my boyfriend is not here to finish those.... :p
