I love her colors and the energy in her work. Finishing seems like it is a weakness for me…. finishing is a necessity. I like to see how the project is going to turn out, even if it hasn't started well. I keep working with it until I can complete it, and perhaps that keeps me from trying more things. I have taken a lot of classes since I retired… all sorts of art media and some writing. When I think I should focus on just a few methods, I realize that all of the things I am learning are starting to coalesce and I need to just keep with it. Thanks for all of your great inspiration, Lyric.

It really makes us see our favorite artists as people who strive to overcome the same issues we deal with in our art. As to how I try to stay on focus and complete projects, I eventually just want to get all the surfaces in my studio cleaned up and it gives me the push to get it done. And I have to admit that once I am at the point of wanting to get it done, I relax a bit more about the piece and no longer question my direction as much. I have discovered I am more creative when I just relax and let it happen rather than trying to direct everything.

I love to work small, mostly because I can really do time consuming detailed work that I just couldn't do on a large work.
I have lots of large UFO's but I generally finish the small works.

I've found it easier to cope with that by having another project started and waiting for me to carry on – sometimes though, I do get ahead of myself – the focus goes out the door! Thanks for showing us how others work and keep their focus.

I enjoy Jane's work and follow her blog. I too love to try different techniques and mediums. How can I settle on one thing when there's so many to pick from.
