How I Come Back to Paintings I’ve Already “Finished”
In this post I share about the process I often go through with a painting, after I think I’ve finished it… but haven’t. I’m always ready to learn and push paintings as far as I can take them. And sometimes, that requires me to set the painting aside and come back to it weeks, months, and sometimes even years later.

Follow along with me as I share some of the specific processes I’ve used, as I try to grow through experimentation!

I’ve had a couple of experiences recently revolving around Beauty (the kind with a capital “B”!), and why I think it matters, and I wanted to share about them here with folks, because they set me to thinking and exploring deeper into the subject.
