One for me - Last Stage (almost)

It will take some close looking to see what other

little touches I've added. This is not a test however!

I may yet do more, like the too-dark window that

needs some lightening so it isn't such a 'hole' in the

painting! Otherwise, it is pretty much done.

After I do a painting and have taken it as far as

I can, I will leave it for a while and then review it

to see if I still consider it fully done. If I do make any

changes, they are never big ones. I have learned

over the years how to work in such a way as to never

have to do any drastic changes. I pass on these

trade secrets to my students!
