I usually draw or paint until the paper is too moist to continue, but I spread this one out over a few sessions. One little change in habit can have such a dramatic affect. Thanks for your response!

Listen to me - waxing philosophical!! Not that I know enough to suggest to anyone 'when', or even myself, for that matter, but that is something I have come to know, even with my limited experience.

Yea, maximum overdrive for sure... I got lost in there so many times. :) But I can't wait to do it again! I heard "stop" so often it made me nervous. I ignored myself and started drawing for other people. So I'm trying to break some of those patterns. It's been a fun exercise with art that's relatable to other areas of life too. Thanks again for your support! Thanks Vikki!

It’s like maximum overdrive into the color explosion. All your styling just pushed to the edge. I also like the lower right corner you leave a little less concentrated. It's kind of a peak into some 'underlying mystery.' Very cool. I know exactly what you’re saying about ‘don’t overwork it.’ I remember instructors walking up behind me and saying, “Stop! It’s done. Leave it alone!” I so hated to hear that. It’s done when I say it’s done. If I push it to far…. well it’s mine to push, now isn’t it? Vikki I really love this Michael.
