Stages of a painting, Mattakeeset

You may have noticed that images of some paintings have morphed over the months. I began adding new paintings at the first point at which they seemed to be “completed,” or at least when work was suspended on them. As time goes on, I’ve returned to my habit of pushing paintings along when a fresh look at them shows some lack. This is part of the work process. It’s part of that healing and knitting that goes on as a painting weathers in.
