Completion


Sometimes I can't tell when a painting is finished. It's like looking in the mirror when you've lost weight and you can't see yourself thin.

My client came to pick up this painting yesterday. I thought it was finished until she said "where's the 50?" I totally missed painting the number 50. I know it's because I didn't want it there. Since this was a commission I didn't have a choice. I am required to paint what the customer wants. So I painted the "50". Truth be told I liked this painting a whole lot more with out the collaged elements of construction parts, too. But since it's for a corporate office of a manufacturing company, they will love it. To me it's a combination of artwork and advertising.
