DREAM - A work in progress

A 'WORK IN PROGRESS' as many other paintings lying in my studio. The pleasure of signing my artwork knowing it is complete is elusive.

It begins with big bold strokes, pushing the creamy paint around with a brush just the way I want. Slowly the work starts looking close to what I have in mind and my strokes become more deliberate. Finally,  when I am really close to feeling it is done - I can tell something is wrong. I keep painting and no matter how much I work on it I can't lay down my brush knowing the painting is  complete.

I have signed 'DREAM' and it hangs in our living room 'incomplete'.
