If something wasn't really bothering me or begging to be done, then it's done.Jill Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685416308808273660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730640734102483618.post-12602250647363343482009-09-17T13:19:56.240-07:002009-09-17T13:19:56.240-07:00Carol and Dana.

As far as when is a painting done?? I think it is subjective. When I can look at it, and don't see something that needs to be fixed, I call it done and sign it.Carol Schiff Daily Paintinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992811279109092289noreply@blogger.com
