When Nate is done painting for a particular session he leaves the work or pushes it away. I know when he’s done because he exclaims it…”Done!”
Me, how do I know when my piece is done?
Usually I start with an idea and inspiration, like a song or nature. Then I like to take a turn in the piece and use chance in a Dada way to push the work in a new direction. If I get a happy feeling, its done. If not, I keep going or set it aside until further inspiration hits. I know its vague, but for me its a feeling-when I feel happy, the piece is done.
How do you know when your work is done?
Do you ever go back years later and work on a “completed piece?”
