When is it finished? A question that
comes up often these days as I try to turn drawings & studies into full-scale oil paintings. The incomplete nature of an image can show through as visible under-painting, unedited marks, a full compliment of mistakes. To the viewer, this might appear to be a sign of laziness, or (if there's
still a positive connection to the piece) an alternate pathway to
reconstruct form.
You can stand behind your work, or you can stand
just a little to the side of it. I think of all the selections
presented here as being both finished & unfinished in some way.
