Also,

I want to add something to my last post.

Before I decide a painting is finished is an important stage of a painting. I have to try to keep a critical eye on myself, because, as my family knows, patience is not my strong suit.

I'm at that stage now with a painting, and I know it's almost done, but I look at it and I see something that's not quite right. Then I fix that and I see something else. But it will be done soon.
