I'm not sure if this painting is finished or not. I keep adding layers to it. We shall see.
Don’t judge or self-edit as you go through these
explorations…
give the unexpected room to emerge by allowing each
movement to evolve
from the one before and lead naturally
into the one
that follows.

Two layers ago it looked like this...
It's always interesting to see "work in progress." Often it reminds me that I just have to decide when it's done, because when I look at other artists' work, I find that I like the piece at different or multiple levels of "doneness." For me, there isn't a magical "done." It's more of a decision on my part. How do you know when you're done?
ReplyDeleteSo true! Usually I just in my gut feel that it is finished... other times it just keeps itching at me like this one. It makes me feel restless and not peaceful.
