. Im wondering What is a sense of completeness? it doesn’t have anything to do with preconceptions of completeness - and here is why I am sure about it
This summer, after finishing the tunnel, I passed through and noticed a section that could easily be seen as incomplete. But love it
Between paint strokes, my mind was quiet. I intuitively placed similar tones and colors, a background landscape emerged that I really liked. Still it was not what I had in mind.
That experience taught me it’s okay to feel uncomfortable with an ending; sometimes, what changes isn’t the painting itself, but my interpretation of it. Even after I stop working, the painting continues to work on me, revealing new discoveries over time.
