Coming to Life (4)

If something is going badly,

there are two possibilities:

Either we are going about the right idea

in the wrong way, or else

it is simply a wrong idea in the first place—

in which case

there is no right way to go about it.

—Polly Berrien Berends, Coming to Life

Polly's words are wise. I have, so often, stuck with a bad idea way too long! I just adore these before and after peeks. There are so many layers to what you create - and yet I always find myself diving into the dark bits. Glorious.

Sticking with a wrong idea, or a right idea but going about it in the wrong way — painful for sure!

Before and after juxtapositions always fascinate me; glad you're enjoying these!

Merry merry messy messy is what I discovered as my inner self let itself be expressed through marks and paint!
