I have lots of half finished paintings laying around. Sometimes it takes me years to actually finish things. I will look at them from time to time and imagine how they might finally come together...I get lost in the possibilities. Other times things just flow, and I will finish a piece in one night. I do like having multiple projects to work on. If I get stuck on one thing I can move on to another. I always say it's hard to force creativity...but I feel like I should try to do that more, just get it out. Something is better than nothing.

Love that one
-------------------- And thus begins the reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.

Here's another painting that took me 3 hours to complete (one on the left is my girls, the one on the right is the one I painted)

For school projects, I've worked on projects for two months or more.
It sounds cliche but lately I've been creating just for the experience of creating. It tends to clean my psyche out and revamp me.
I tend to doodle a lot when bored and like you have a couple of sketchbooks full of characters and scenes that I haven't completed. The good thing about that (in my point of view) is that I can come back later with a fresh eye/palette and finish the idea.
The thing about failing is you can't fail without trying...well you can if you don't try but you know what I mean.
wow, love it all, but the top right one you did is particularly gorgeous .
And yeah, you're absolutely right, I'm going to go back and actually finish some stuff.

akira_akuma said: i can say; for me, i've got my first painting i've ever been really happy with, still being worked on, for months and months; i still have yet to finish it... but it's just got more foreground details and then water details... and some bolder outlining on a tree... then it's done. i made it out of my first try ever painting since pre-school... and it was horrible... but then it made it into something completely different and the only painting save one that i've saved.
my second one that i've dumped the most work into got a hole due to something falling on it, my third was gonna tie a connection between it and the first one, due to environmental distinction, it was going to provide the flood (in my Flood picture) to a mountain that someone lives on, whom lives under a huge tree. and a fourth, where i tried to make a sun, and it was just practice... being particular about my choices here, i decided to recreate my "allegory" that was the third and failed painting, by using pieces of these broken and/or failed paintings, by cutting them out, and gluing them on some paper, to use it all in some way.
lets just say, i seem to work in the opposite way then you've described; i don't want to waste anything, really, but the fact is though, i DO in fact lose the will to work on certain things past a point, because it loses its... perfection, essentially.
so i can definitely see why one would go through so much work, and maybe not use all of it. but it's all important, i feel, to have to go through. not everything will be perfect, which in turn makes the artist want to strive even harder.
Hahaha, I usually turn failed paintings into collages eventually and just take scissors to them in moments of impulse too. And my greatest hurdle is absolutely a fear of failure, I wish I had gotten over it enough to teach myself how to draw and paint much sooner in life than I did - now I feel like I'm a constant work in progress, which is great for improvement, but it's hard for me to get out of 'practice mode' which is partially why it's difficult for me to sit down and devote so much time to one thing.
either way, I'm revising the sunglasses one and managed to stop myself before I got too sloppy and started to work on a new project instead, which I went balls out with.

i like. chiaroscuro.
by the way, i'll take that advice. i am the same way, i don't want to just... toss any thing away... fuck no, that would mean failure. no, i want to incorporate everything i can, no losses.
but you know, i don't wanna get stuck in practice mode. i am just thinking... what is the next step. a bigger canvas and a bigger concept, but what?
a timely concept won't be appropriate if i wanna get out of practice mode, i figure... so i figure... i have to take some time to really think about it. it's like practicing guitar... if you practice all the time (when you're are just beginning; cause if you are professional this isn't applicable and one would want to practice as often and as much one can...) if you practice all the time as a beginner, you'll sink into repetition and sink into a mode where you do not improve on difference aspects, and only slow your progress into learning new things down. you need to be able to try-try again, as it were, and learn from mistakes, not try and play over them as if you're gonna iron them out. you won't, unless you find space to try new things... then you come back to what you were struggling with, and you'll find that you can do better now, now that you gave THAT a break and tried something else instead. see what i mean? you gotta come back to things after some space, to figure out a new way to approach the thing you're struggling with. just like anything, really.
you might struggle with your calling, but it'll only serve you better then if you didn't struggle at all.
