Well, this is it. I finished the painting today and submitted it for the Word and Image Project. It's been fun posting my progress. This was a short amount of time to do a painting this detailed. There are many aspects I would love to go back and continue to work. I had a fun conversation today though, that reminded me to keep it in perspective. I told my friend that as a recovering perfectionist it is hard for me to take on anything that I don't know I can do perfectly. Painting is "perfect" therapy for that because a painting is never perfect. There simply comes a time when I have to say "Good enough." So while I could nit-pick this to death... it's good enough. I will post the final painting, along with the poem that inspired it, after the opening reception at the Hoffman Center. Thanks for tagging along with me on this one.
