Overdirection kills all those little sponteneous things that happen when an artist is creating. I find my pieces 'die' when I try too hard for a certain look. If I just 'let them happen', I continue to enjoy them for months (or even years) to come.

This is so true, I think people might have even heard it discribed as the painting or artwork "speaking" to thiem. Sure as an artist I have things I want to say in a work, but the work wants to say somethings right back.
