Imperfection


When you make art do you love what you produce immediately?
I must say sometimes, I am satisfied with it, sometimes
I hate it, sometimes I am happy with imperfection.

I think that some of the great painters of years ago
struggled with the same worries about
there art, as we do.  I am sure Picasso must
have produced a few stinkers in his time.  But
I guess what we all have to remember
is what we see as an imperfection\
others see as perfection.

  1. It's tricky. I like my paintings to look hand painted, not computer done, but I also like them precise and exactly the way I pictured them in my mind. Some pictures I have done over and over 6 or 7 times before I get it 'acceptable,' but other days it takes one try and the painting is perfect!

    Nothing ever works the same way twice, I guess.

  2. 'Stinkers', I like that word, lol...I had a struggle last night, but I finished my collage satisfied....yes sometimes you have that, plus imperfection is nothing, 'pure personal expression' is the attraction to an art piece!

  3. Just discovered your blog Great! Love your take on imperfection. The idea of perfection does WAY more harm than good, and it can be a real barrier for some in art.
