Never ending story

One of the reasons I started working primarily with watercolor nine years ago is because it forces me to work faster. You can't make endless adjustments to a watercolor without the paper giving up and unraveling on you. In other words you have to decide a painting is finished just prior to reaching that point, or else the medium will begin to punish you with rapidly increasing severity. Oil painting, on the other hand, invites endless tinkering, as is proving to be the case with this painting in progress...
