Exactly. Happy but introspective. It actually started out as a totally different painting and then the hands too over.

i have paintings ive started and never finished.they just sit there wondering if there going to get done.i look at them and wonder,what was i thinking.i wont ever paint over them.thats like trying to change a person so that they fit your needs.

I disagree to some extent. Now, I usually get a second opinion before I "re-do" a painting. Some of my best work would have been painted over on a whim. But there have been many that just didn't do it for me, so I put white paint over it (should have used Gesso - I will from now on) and treated it like a new canvas. Unfortunately, I sometimes use tools and the marks remain. I have always finished what I started, I am one of those people who hates loose ends. But I know people who leave work unfinished for a while until they are inspired to either finish the theme or take it in a new direction. So, if you wonder "What was I thinking", why won't you paint over them?

I like the colors! Seems a little blurry though.

Thanks! Actually, the "blurry" look was intensional. It was meant to give it an undercurrent.
