That mental image has helped me.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422138891797605472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-25650432774336451922010-09-08T18:36:21.742-06:002010-09-08T18:36:21.742-06:00I read this earlier and my brain couldn't come...I read this earlier and my brain couldn't come up with a decent comment, so I decided to let it simmer and come back. Since then I've thought about the times I've overworked things. For me, that often means overthinking stuff. Over analyzing. Sometimes you can break something apart so far that it no longer makes sense. You lose sight of the cohesiveness of the whole. You started out with great intentions but you didn't stop when it was making sense, and you end up with nonsense. Have you noticed that it is easier to break something apart than it is to put it back together? When you get to that point you just have to start over. I guess that is like you and your painting. You can't undo it. You just have to get a fresh canvas and go again. Hopefully, this time you will recognize the stopping point when you see it.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-52328187236801505572010-09-08T09:34:16.148-06:002010-09-08T09:34:16.148-06:00For me, it's not so much the food I'm eati...For me, it's not so much the food I'm eating as the way I'm eating. I get into trouble when I eat too fast, or too mindlessly. When I eat when I'm not hungry or because I'm bored. I'm discovering that those bad habits can bite you even if your food choices aren't as horrid as they once were.<br /><br />Excellent post.Cole Walter Mellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792991151019418800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-86343450755468875412010-09-08T06:09:02.217-06:002010-09-08T06:09:02.217-06:00I totally, completely agree with you.

And the lifestyle thing, too. :)<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-72129894424248401912010-09-07T21:06:37.895-06:002010-09-07T21:06:37.895-06:00Excellent point, Chris. I hadn't thought of it...Excellent point, Chris. I hadn't thought of it that way before. To focus on setting a limit and sticking to it, not focusing on the owning it part.<br /><br />We all like to feel so proud of ourselves for owning it (ha ha, better speak for myself) but that can end up being a trap, if we stay there, and don't go on to correcting that which we have owned!<br /><br />I had to laugh about the overworked art... I am in the middle of experimenting with my new Neocolor II's, and was taking pics of each step. But just last night was shrinking from posting the pics cuz it was not turning out like I saw in my head.<br /><br />Oh well, we learn from the duds, too. I've read that it takes 7 duds to turn out 1 masterpiece. I tend to think it's true, LOL!<br /><br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.com
