Simplicity and pleasure

In the process of creation, we often want to be amazing. We want to be like Picasso, Michelangelo. We want to match our heroes or others who have created works of art be it in crochet or any other form of art.
We forget that it is often during our "I can't be bothered, I will go for the basic" mood that we create pieces that others will love. Often, these are pieces we see as "rubbish, could be better, could have added....was too tired to think of anything better"
So why is it that others are more drawn to these pieces? Why are they not drawn to that amazing well balanced (colour wise) multi-dimensional afghan that was so challenging and yet so fulfilling to make. You look at it as your greatest project and yet it is bypassed for the joy and simplicity of the granny square you mucked up in a hurry whilst trying to reduce your yarn stash.
Just like great artists we are never happy with what we see as easy. And yet it is in the unconscious simplicity that we allow out mind to instinctively create a pleasing piece that will draw those who see it.
So, the next time someone complements you on what you consider to be your rush/ basic simple projects, say thank you and then look at it again.. For the secret of a good creation is within it.
