Well, I started two new paintings today - Robert my husband always says " that's it, its finished ... he said that with the first one - below .... I dunnno, maybe he is right - I find it impossible to leave it when the painting underneath ( one of the road rage paintings I did a year ago) is still so strongly showing and it feels too unresolved ......!
The springhead one with reflections - he insists that I dont do anymore to it - except I am allowed to finish off the water in the bottom left ...
Since a few post ago I have had some feedback and I really appreciate it - if you feel like commenting on this, please do ..... I dont suppose it will change what I do - but its interesting all the same, and may encourage me to look at my work differently, which is always useful...

Hey you ... yep I read your blog pretty often, and in this instance I would love you to have stopped at stage 1. I know you would have felt uncomfortable and itching to do more, but I think it has a solidity that is, ironically, more spiritual than the finished piece.
