I really love teaching. For one reason it helps to keep me actively painting. Though, I’m often compelled to complete and or fix every painting I start as a demonstration. I’ll overwork something that would best be sent to recycling.
A friend suggested I keep a decent picture frame handy. When I can’t seem to finish the painting and keep noodling on it, I’ll view it in the frame, be surprised and declare it done or cover the canvas with a new coat of gesso.
If I’m surprised I’ll get another frame for that painting and keep my “magic frame” to check out future work.
And don’t forget to sign it.
This is a wonderful lesson to apply to many projects in addition to painting!
frame a perfect match for the lovely painting……like it
