How many paintings is enough?

One more Koi or one more Venice or whatever landscape you found exciting to mess with for years...... When does it get to be a complacent act? When painting loses inspirational freshness or energy or excitement found in earlier work.... or worse.... feels like a day job? When raising the bar or working on improving paint quality only produces a similar result?

I doubt you run out of ideas, but ultimately do get bored with the same old, same old process........ If that's the case, then what! REJECTION of the past and look to the future?

MY FAVORITE WORK & TITLE OF THE YEAR

"IT HAD ITS MOMENTS"

 "It Had its Moments" 30x30 oil on linen (10/5/2017 canvas 1172)

My only wish,  "X" had been on a larger canvas....and a better painting:=) I do like to paint, no question about that. And, I do enjoy passing it on with Swimming-in-Paint. HOWEVER!

I'm beginning to believe in this notion of the "seven year itch", and believe it has legs here.
