I had to laugh reading all these posts! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I've tried some of your suggestions - I too have a canvas sheet full of noses, mouths, eyes, and ears. Some of those face parts were mine - my family even recognized them, which is a good sign.
I finally got a studio of my own when our son got married last summer and I took over his room. That helped some. It might help more if I moved the computer to the garage! It's too easy to sit down here and see what's happening at SOG.
I'm procrastinating right at this very moment. The beginning of my next project is behind me; I'm ignoring it. It's a portrait of my husband, which would be ok if it was just him, but it's not just him......there's a helicopter there too....... (He's a Vietnam Vet, was crew chief on a helicopter.) I guess I can use him as my advisor - he will surely catch every mistake I make.
And then there's all those other things in the way. Along with the helicopter I'm procrastinating about the flower beds out front. Have to get rid of all those weeds since the house is supposed to be going on the market in two weeks - which when it sells will open a whole new area of "stuff" in the way. But the good thing about all this is that we're moving so I can go to art school. Can't wait to get there, but in the meantime, it's back to the weeds.
