Knowing when to stop painting is hard. There is a delicate balance between knowing when to stop or when to put more work in. For me, I tend to look at it for a few days. Sometimes I'll hang it up on the wall so if feels more final. If I look at it and I only want to change one or two things, than I leave it alone. If I hate it beyond a reasonable doubt, then I put more work in. I always have been drawn to a more Impressionistic style. When looking at Monet's work I specifically enjoy his river boat painting or his haystack series. However Monet's haystacks are obviously painted very maliciously yet they exude effortlessly beauty. I don't think I could ever compare my work his masterpieces. When I study Monet, I'm just fascinated and maybe understand art a little bit better. I digress... I think I finished my pie painting. I'm semi satisfied with it. Most importantly I hope it is well received by its new owners.
