Age-old question for painters, right? See if you can find at least five differences between the two versions of this painting. And, it's still not finished.
Half-way to done....
Getting closer to done....table top looking warped now, though. Argh.
When is a painting done? Sometimes never. Once a painting is sold through a gallery, I might never see it again. But, some I do see, in the homes of friends who've purchased one or more. I'm secretly looking to assess what I might do differently or at how I've improved. Or, just basking in a job well done! I do keep a few paintings in my studio that were once "done", and find after a year or two that I start adding paint to bring them alive once more.
