Haste makes waste

When is an art work done.  With me it can be a long time.  I always let my art set and visit it periodically to see what it needs further.  One time I forgot I had entered a piece in a show and had changed It radically before it was accepted.  Fortunately the show never materialized and I didn’t have to figure out what to do.  This piece illustrates my point.  After looking at it I decided it needed dancers.  So dancers were added.  I’m not the only artist who does this.  Bonnard was often caught in museums doing touch ups to his work.  When I was younger I would have an idea and get it executed and move on.  Now I realize that work needs to be continually improved until you get it right.  Artists are no different than writers in this respect.
