I think we all have our own version of the so called "stall." I feel a lot like Tom on this matter. I think it's a natural process.
I mostly paint from photographs and I go through what I call the seduction phase. I will literally carry an 8 x 10 photo around with me for days or weeks. I will take it with me throughout the house and even to restaurants and stare at it. Over this time I believe that I am entering the painting.
The curious thing to me is that I go through a similar period to exit the process. I will carry the painting around from room to room and stare at it. I think that I have to have some period of time to emotionally exit the painting.
