It's not an earth-shattering insight, but that doesn't stop it from being true - sometimes, less is more.

I remember watching an interview with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richard in which he said he now tries to play his guitar less during live performances because he enjoys the spaces between the chords more than the chords themselves.

And I heard something similar from an artist friend who said he got more out of his painting after he put less paint on the canvas and started exploring the white space between the splats.
