Playing a risky game going back to a painting I thought I had finished. It needed another session, though, to adjust and correct and give it a once over. You need to reach that point where you have done all you can and know that any more will not improve it.
Sometimes, of course, you can misjudge and lose the work or at least lose the freshness. Here, I think I am satisfied that the final session was worth it.
Now, if I can resist painting a little bit more on the neck, it is finished.

that neck, though….

Amazing art!!
Thanks Pedrol! 🙂
You’re brilliant. This is a fantastic portrait and I love it. I know the feeling of needing to go back over. I have ruined quite a few finished paintings that way.
Thank you! That’s really kind of you. Yes, the bin has seen a few paintings pass through due to over doing it 🙂
It’s fabulous. And it’s finished.
Thanks Rosie! Ok, it’s done 😀
your portrait makes me think I know her, I can really see her, very nice
Thank you Annerose!
