Working process
I have been working on three large scale paintings (about 5×7 feet) for several months now. About a month ago I became frustrated with the work because I was unable to move forward. There was nothing stopping me I just could not figure out how to do what I had in mind. Eventually I took the paintings down and turned them against the wall and began something new. Last week I took another look and the problem seemed ridiculous. In a matter of an hour or so I had most of the trouble worked out.

It often helps to turn the mind away from a probelm and focus on something else for awhile. I have done this many times and most of the time I was easily able to solve the problem when i came back to it.
