Its always a little unsettling when at the end of a painting session you think the painting is finished much sooner than planned. I had to take a few days out to think about it. It may seem premature? but I consider myself to have gone beyond ‘picture making’ and by that I mean I feel I am on the right track now and I need to be squeezing out every ounce of goodness from each painting. Expecting more, I think is the right way of putting it. The decision to keep going with this painting has been the right one and there is still a little bit more to do.
