By wiping down a days work, it is cathartic, and nothing is really lost. ALl the composing, paint \u00a0and energy is still there, and will guide the next, hopefully better work of art. I need to create new things, and arrive at levels within the composition in which it needs to be left &#8211; or the original intention gets over sighted by trying to &#8216;finish&#8217;, or &#8216;wow!&#8217; yourself. I am learning to know when to stop, to rely on my visions. When I am clear I see what needs to be done, and some days are for wiping down the canvas, a whole days work. Tomorrow is a new day, and if the elements are balanced, the work will most definitely \u00a0&#8211; be sublime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
