"Lust" is the more appropriate term. This has happened to me recently. Am I alone? If any of you have, talk about your experience.

Winter - Yeah, I know the story of Pygmalion and Galatea. I thought of that when I was thinking of posting this question

I created a piece about 8 years ago, that I adored. I'd stare at it for hours.
No one else liked it, and that kind of upset me.
I destroyed the piece late 2005. It seems better as a memory.
=(

I fall in love with all my works, they are my passion. I never draw if I am not in the mood to. I see things differently as I am an Artist. I do have a few that did capture my heart a little more dearly then others.
Back in my senior year of high school, lets not talk about how long ago this was! LOL, anyway onto the drawing. I loved the poetry of The Doors and it hit me to draw a work in honor of the late great leader of this band Jim Morrison.
I drew a hand reaching inward in a grasp holding a sphere that was cracking under stress, inside this was the sign for neucular energy/bio hazard with the electrons and gliding around it, in the center was a brain.
Now outside the hand were dancing flames atop of the hand and behind that a big mushroom cloud from a bomb of coarse, from there in the peek set umungst the ripples of the cloud was Jim's face in a crying glare.
on the left side of this picture layed a city under decay, a bridge fallen down into the see and buildings falling down the scape.
on the right side was a tree full of life and hope with a lizard looking upward into the sky with a crown half pitched upon his head. Pasture filled with grass and rolling hills and then a row of evergreens into a set of mountains in the back ground.
At the bottom of the picture I put as the title and as qoute "Perhaps Peace"
This piece I loved very dearly and will always think of it as one of my very best works, even though it was early in my life as an Artist. Good Luck, God Bless!

Sounds like a Pygmalian complex.
Pygmalion is a fictional character from the Roman poet Ovid, found in the tenth book of his Metamorphoses. Pygmalion is a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has made.
Pygmalion was a Cypriot sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory. According to Ovid he is 'not interested in women', but his statue is so realistic that he falls in love with it. He offers the statue presents and eventually prays to Venus. She takes pity on him and brings the statue to life. They marry and have a son, Paphos.[1]
Ovid's mention of Paphos suggests he was drawing on the brief account of Pygmalion and Galatea in Bibliotheke, a Hellenistic encyclopedia of myth formerly attributed to Apollodorus.

I couldn't name a particular piece but for me, I do alot of wierd stuff, usually alot of celebrity work. After I finish a piece I don't know if I'll love it or hate it, there's never usually in between. I have more hates than loves but I do have a couple that are hard to tear my eyes off of. I guess if I had to pick one piece, it would e the window painting I did of Cher. It's sad, the best piece, is the only one I can't take with me when I move out.

No. Why would I lust over one of my paintings? Maybe a little for my lush nude painting and sculpture, but I didn't make them. Amazing the angles and curves of those. I do like one of my paintings, "Blue Walls", but I consider it to be unfinished. I also like a lot of them but I am working on my 'Four Elements' dedication, Fire is the first one. Water, Air and Earth will come after. I am preparing the canvas for water right now.

yes, of course. It is the worst thing for an artist, because it is necessary to get rid of your work to make money. But then you want to keep it, you can't bare to let it go, you want to hang it in your own house, or just stare at it. This is sounding a little egotistical, but really, if you put a lot of yourself into your artwork, then it should be hard to let go. And it should be really good. And you made the damn thing, so you better like it.

I sketch often, you know. I'd say that I can't stop admiring them until the next day, when I have actually got over my "lust" for them.
