I have a tremendous fear that if I set aside my current painting to start a new one that it will just sit forever unfinished, yet I also have so many ideas for other new paintings I hate to put those on the backburner since I can't seem to finish this one for some reason. On top of it all I fear that I will just keep doing this cycle of starting a painting, become unable to "finish" it, setting it aside to start a new one, and then end up with a pile of unfinished paintings. I hate being at this standstill but I don't want to "force" the work of the still life (the current one) since the painting won't look the same as if I had let it flow. I don't want to start another still life so I don't know if it'd be different since it's a different type of painting (I want to try doing something abstract and possibly try to mix in different mediums). I just want to know how to get unstuck and not get caught in a cycle of a pile of unfinished paintings!
Is it okay to set aside my current still life oil painting to start a whole new painting?
