Forest of Abundance Painting

I started off with a very fluid momentum to this painting and this  is where I got to with it initially.

After a short break to ponder where I was going with this painting, I got a little stilted and uncertain. I have come back to it several times to add more work and this is how it is looking at the moment.

I fear that I have started to overwork the canvas, thereby losing some of the spontaneity of the fluid brush strokes and markings. Yet, it is not yet finished to me.

This is once again, another reminder of needing to ‘go with the flow’ when the  inspiration hits and continuing to paint whilst I am in the zone, even if it means sleep deprivation!

Can anyone relate? Does this happen to you in your creative process?

Anyway, I will be sure to pop up another picture once it is finished.

In the meantime, I shall try to get a clearer picture in my minds eye of what it is I wish to see. lol!
