I've been at that putting on the brakes moments in my process, or worse yet, self sabotaging the whole thing by overworking it! Yikes. Your mark making is very organic here and looks like fun PLAY! After much serious hyperrealistic work I'm allowing myself to play more, keep going!
Many thx Gloria. Oh yes, quite familiar with the 'overworking' element!! Am slowly getting better, at a point when I've created something I like, at putting it to one side and leaving it for a few days... And reminding myself that's its when I play, that my best discoveries, or work, happens.... Onwards and upwards! Carolyn
Oh Carolyn, please carry on with this new work, it is captivating. I love it. But to answer your question, yes, I'm like you have a great idea. Build it up in my head and then put the brakes on for some reason. Don't do that here I think it'll go great guns.xx
This rings so true for me. I always control the brush strokes. Now I want to loosen up a bit so I will keep your advice in mind. That Mondrian painting is gorgeous.

Ha, I know - if I could bottle that 'not thinking, just doing' feeling I would!! Isn't it just!! I love it!!
