It's quite mesmerizing. I adore the softness of the piece, and how the shapes and contrast smooth into the dark. Amazing work, like always.

I love the weight the shades carry in this piece. The white and black, though separate, both have a definite presence and really bring out the multidimensional-ism *rt364 mentioned
Btw, was it hard deciding when to officially put this piece down for good? I get into trouble over working pieces and I know a lot of other people do too. Is it just that 'the piece tells me when it's done' sort of thing or do you have a certain point you reach when you know if you keep going you'll just ruin it?

Thank you very much!!!
It is difficult to say when a piece is "finished". It definitely is a thing of experience knowing when to stop. I often work to a point and stop and look, sometimes leaving the artwork for a few hours or day or so. When I come back to the artwork, I look to see if it needs something more or if something needs changing. On this piece in particular I worked on it little by little adding and changing until I finally felt like it was time to stop, I also didn't want to lose much more of the exposed raw linen. I also had to stop because it was time to give the painting to the pair of friends.

What makes this a favorite of mine is the multidimensional-ism. Every time you look at it you see something different.
