Comments on My Paintings

  • Thank you for sharing this great story! I think its interesting how unfinished art to the artist, is finished art once anyone else see’s it. And it would undermine you as the artist to go back and change it if they already thought it was finished. Sometimes this is why i don’t like to let people see unfinished work until I can show the completed piece. -- comment on the painting Yellow Scarf - Oxbow Figure in Landscape (unfinished)
