Solomon's Island, Finished, I Think!

Dear Imaginary Friend,

Can you believe it, I think that I have finished my new boat painting at last. The question always lingers, with shadowy doubts: Is this painting finished or does it need more tweaking?

It is really hard to put the brushes confidently away. It's not like a bell rings, telling you that you are finished. An artist is only finished once she is believes she is. Some days it looks finished, and other days I see problems that need addressing. The worrisome part is that whenever I fix one thing, I usually mess up another, creating more work for myself.

If you refer back to my blog entitled "Masterpiece du Jour", you will be able to compare and contrast.

OK, this time, it is really finished. 

I think!

Your Imaginary Friend,

Patsie
