Are they done?

These are becoming "Works In Progress" (WIP). As long as I have the paintings they may change. If you find one you like consider buying it before it gets painted over. I'm still haunted by two works that I missed buying, one by Ruth Franklin and one by Jeff Walker. The painting "One That Got Away" on the Large Abstracts page is a visual note to remind me and maybe jog the memory of Julie or Jeff Walker which one I hope to find someday. Once these get painted over the old image is gone forever. I'm enjoying painting more than naming. Usually a title presents it's self, quite often I paint some more which eliminates the title. From now on I'm just going to number most paintings. That will free up the viewer to find what they want for a title. Everyone sees different elements that necessitate a different title.
