With almost every painting that I have completed, there is a time when I think I am done.  If I have spent a longer time than usual painting a particular piece, I may even say, "Enough, already!"  The painting will be taken off the easel and put at a distance for it to dry.  Sometimes, I will even post the painting on social media.  Occasionally, though, upon further analyzing the "completed" painting, I will realize a flaw in design or an improvement that I cannot overlook.  That's when the painting goes back up on the easel.  

This is what happened to me with my latest work.  I was sure it was finished and put it aside.  I pondered the posted photo several times before I realized a major (for me) design flaw.  Oops!  Once seen, letting it go was impossible.  Yup, maybe a bit anal, but that's me.  So, now, the work is back where I can redo it without creating another major faux pas.  Fine tuning is part of the process.

The finished version will be posted.
