Well I am liking this one a lot - always the struggle between "I like it" and "but it looks unfinished".

So what constitutes a finished painting?

It is so easy to overwork things... I see other artists' works which are very loose and gestural, paint drips &c. and I really like them, but then with my own work I have this idea of how it should look "finished" - perhaps this idea is too rigid sometimes.
