This is a very strong piece....it's energy flows eternally...

it invites to try to do marine nudos
while tasting salt
& think in Baudelaire, Van Gogh & the southern seas!

sign it! It's done! (in my opinion)

I love it!

nice to see you again!

(Keep painting and we'll keep looking! By the way, you can also upload your images directly to the site now instead of using img code. Scroll down below the posting window for the file upload button)

I like it as it is but you'll know when it's finished.

I never know when mine are finished either. That's one of the hardest parts, in my opinion. I can't count the number of canvases I've screwed up by working them too long. I have a closet full of them. Luckily, sometimes I get smart enough to take a photo during various phases like you've done, Gary, so I still have a digital version of a few I later messed up.

Dadio's right. Only you know. But if you don't know, I sure know what you mean.

Historically, it's an age old question. When is it finished? When do you stop painting? I'm sure many articles about the dilemma have been written.

I had painted years ago back in high school and college and didn't pick up a paint brush to paint again until about 5 or 6 years ago. Instead, I've been a graphic designer (for my work) and worked on some digital art pieces through the years.

I remember saying "Crap! there's no command-Z!" (keyboard shortcut for 'undo' on a Mac). That's one of the glories of photoshop. You can return to previous versions. Not with paint.

Anyway, I like the painting a lot! .... as always!
