Over the past year I've tied myself in knots overthinking painting of models, with my brain demanding that each one should be produced to the best of my ability but in reality that would see only a handful of models completed every year at most.
Ignoring the fact that perfection is unobtainable in painting, it seems unrealistic to set a standard for myself where I fail before even beginning! So I'm working harder to call a piece done, even if just for the time being, such as my Flower Queen (https://www.nerodine.com/2025/07/flower-queen-ii.html) which still needs further work.
Rather I'd prefer to have a lot tabletop projects done to a reasonable standard and finished not perfect. Reaching this realisation has not been an easy road, because my brain is wired to be stupid on matters like this. But I'll endeavour to be better at working around it, rather than being blocked by it.
