When I was younger my mother always told me I had to finish one project before I started another, but to be honest if I did that then I think I'd never complete anything. I often find if I leave something for a while a new idea or a further development will present itself which I kind of like. That said there are times (seldom!!) when I do actually sit down and do something start to finish so I guess both methods have their merits. Below is the tag book I started yesterday, I quite like how the colours are coming together.
The Lake of Zürich last week, inspired the piece belowAnd then it all ground to a halt after I added a stamp of a fish which bothers me somehow, hmm.. now this is an example of a 'it takes time' piece! I won't tell you to watch this space as it could be a while!

it´s look s great both the tagbook and "the lake"
Have a nice week!
If fish bothers you, I would cover it and snip sections away, just have bits peeking. If bothered me even more I would cover it completely. There, how aboutthat for some wisdom ;-)
I like the starts of both. Maybe the lake was finished before you added the fish (I like the hazy, weak sunlight thing you have going there).
That said, I have found a solution for my started projects (I'm with ou on letting things simmer). I put a set of ATCs in a tray so I could put them away from the reach of small hands. Kept my materials all together too while the ATCs were in progress. And I finally found a use for the wooden tray I bought 2 years ago!
I am a multiple project person too. Like what you are doing here! The color palette in both pieces is so soothing!
Lake Zurich certainly does look inspiring, Love your soft use of colors M! When anything bothers me, I slap some gesson on it and I am good to go again....it's fun having choices!
The piece inspired by the lake is awesome! It takes a good artist to have something so simple and achieve so much depth and texture. Really beautiful!!
