The Artistic Urge from Prehistory to the Present.

I have been working on these paintings today. The two thin canvases, 16 in x 32 in, are paintings formed by the drips from my other works. I laid them on the floor underneath the other canvases I was working on as I felt I was wasting a lot of paint but was still consumed by the urge to pour paint on my paintings. I don’t really think they are successful pieces of art but it was an experiment. I think they were better in their raw state before I tried to finish them. The other painting is one which I made earlier and was not happy with the intensity of the colours, however, unfortunately I don’t think I have improved it. I am trying to learn the lesson of when to stop and when to know something is finished. I have had quite a stressful time recently with over working my paintings and think I might finally have learnt my lesson.
