Accepting unfinished work as done: My dada.nyc drawing for today; computer error teaches life lesson.

My doodle for today was an answer to two amazing pieces. Mine, however, feels a bit underdone in comparrison.

Here is the "conversation" with mine added:

The frustrating bit is basically what you see of my piece is the 'skeleton' of my work.

I was laying down form and some colours and shadow and then wanted to go in and soften and build up the layers to match the depth of the other two pieces. However, today for some reason, when I would go to use the drawing tool it just turned into the dropper and kept copying the colour on the screen rather then letting me draw and paint again. Thus I literally could no longer draw or paint, only copy the colour of whatever I hovered over.

The irony is not missed on me that I was depicting a bot viewing a human world but with some malfunctions AS my own tools on dada were also malfunctioning.

I also have an interesting affect on technology so this might simply be my odd juju affecting the drawing tools who can say?

In a way, however, this is a lesson I have learned over the past two years: Calling a piece done even when you aren't 100% satisfied with it is an important moment for an artist to reach, I think.

Having the ability to love and accept things are important to life in general so therefore, in art it can also be a boon.

This piece can simply be the rough sketchy representation of what I was aiming for and it can teach me to be happy with pure colour and more flat forms.

Lessons are everywhere to be found, if we are simply open to them.

Now, back to the 'conversation' The other two amazing artists in this dada.nyc conversation are from left to right, Boris Toledo Doorm and Cromomaniaco So do check out their works on dada.nyc.

Have a lovely day and stop by for a 'conversation' on dada.nyc

Addendum: I just heard from dada.nyc that there is a problem they are working on, so it wasn't just me. It was odd as it just suddenly wouldn't let me draw any longer. It was as if my computer was saying, "NO, that's enough for today. This is done" :)
