"Never Finished And Or A Work In Progress" Acrylic Canvas 30" x 36"

 I started this painting sometime ago.  It is a view of Boston from East Boston that I have done many times and in many different ways.

I did some stuff a few weeks ago and then went on to another painting.
Last week I found it in a pile of "unfinished" paintings and I decided to do a little work on it.
Yesterday and today I spent quite a bit of time  working on this painting.I am thinking I may finish it soon.  Or maybe I won't.  It is fun to see a painting in progress.   One of the challenges, joys, and thrills about my painting process is that  I start out with an idea but I keep it vague. The painting many times dictates where it wants to go and when it is finished.  Because of this I am never quite sure when many of my works are finished. Maybe they never really are.  I am liking this journey and where it is taking me this time.

  2. I so agree that often a painting will tell you where it wants to go. It's really nice when that happens. Looks as though your cityscape is definitely talking to you.
