Postponing Judgement While Painting

I keep working exclusively in my sketchbook because that’s what feels right. I want to keep my options open. Seems like there’s something in me that needs to come out.  Like I need to get to the bottom of something. I notice both joy and judgements creep in as I work. The judgements are premature. Why do we criticize the work while making it?! What an intrusion on our practice! I’ve been just letting the negative thoughts be there, letting them go, digging into the painting. I’ve decided to suspend conscious judgement of my sketchbook work until a once a week documentation day, when I catalogue and photograph completed work. I’m interested in what else this experiment will yield. I think it will be interesting to see what types of imagery are repeated. Want to give it a try? Tell me how it goes for you.
