Are They Done?

A few times people have asked me

“How do you know when they are done?”

I haven’t had a consistent answer.

Sometimes I really want to keep adding and other times - not so much.

With this painting- I have no paint on the front.

When I flipped the back over my jaw dropped a bit- it had so much potential.

And I’ve moved it around the studio for a few weeks now and I went to paint the front today 4/23/23  

I got the correct palate out for their skin…

Cleaned the front of the glass- and was like wholly shit- up close this thing doesn’t look done at all- but from distance it looks complete complete.

So I intend this to be viewed from distance and then approach it to see how incomplete it really is- but they are done to me- this time- for now.
