Studio Musings...

I painted this about 2 years ago, put it aside and found it this week in a cupboard behind my painting equipment. It never got finished as other work became more pressing.  Now, I don't want to 'finish' it as there is a sense of the occasion in the simplicity. 

 Sometimes less is more.

It is easy to overwork a piece leading to disaster.

  A painter's challenge is putting it aside and leaving it alone.
