DeKooning said a painting is never finished, rather it's abandoned.

paitning is a form of decision making, so covering up a past decision isn't totally a bad thing.

Interesting discussion. Julian was quite articulate. Moderator was a bit overcooked.

Terrible moderator, kept talking over/interrupting Dana and Julian mid-sentence

Underworked vs Overworked, Undercooked vs Overcooked is a subjective decision of value based on scarcity of output, for in reality, the creative force of Nature is a constant flux and actually is far more abundantly creative than is necessary, i.e., the woman carries more ovum, the man carries more sperm, the dandelion spreads more seeds than necessary (Alan Watts), hence “Life is not moving from imperfection to perfection. It is moving from perfection to perfection” (Osho). 😄
