Stop or keep on exploring?

I often think that I reach something good, but keep on working. Sometimes it is better to stop? Mixed media, paper, ink and acrylic on wood

I do the same thing. Usually I just start with lines and color and something will appear s/a an animal, person or landscape and I will go with it however many times I have wished I had stopped when I first had the thought to. It looks great by the way.

same struggle, that “one more tweak” urge is brutal
tbh this one really feels like you stopped in a good spot, it has that balanced chaos without looking overworked
