It's hard to know when to stop working on something. I always have the urge to put one more color, one more line. Sometimes it seem paralyzing. But then I remember watching a video or a artist that works on canvases that are wet and as he paints on them he keeps changing the composition and subject matter but everything is captured in the moment. It's hard to explain, but the main take away is this: If you are so afraid that you are going to ruin it or that you are not able to produce it again, maybe you shouldn't be doing it. So don't be afraid to mess something up. Stop when you are satisfied, not when you are scared to continue.
