My Christmas painting-


It never really feels like a painting is finished.
But I comfort myself with the idea that if I stop one painting I can rework the same subject matter on another one. So you may see that I will paint a second or a third and fourth version of the same image, or just about. I reserve the right to do this.
Hugs-

It's like that, isn't it? I find the same with lots of things that I make. Nothing on the scale of your wonderful paintings, Annamaria, but I think it applies to all forms of artistic endeavour... when is enough enough? when is it 'right'? Sometimes we know instantly, but others... I think it's magnificent :) K

just so wonderful and true. i especially love the detail of the mother gently holding the baby's tiny foot...

i seldom feel i have finished a painting so i completely empathize with your determination to be free to create variations- it is our inner eye we are following and it is often very elusive.
