Closeup image of completed work. Full image available at www.scottvonholzen.com. There have been thousands, of thousands, of more thousands of brush strokes. Already the last stoke has been blended into all the rest and like the rest they have all drifted out of memory and into a finish work. Another thousand could have been place, and some could have had their effort made know, but there are only so many thousands left and it was time to take the brush in a different dab.
This close up is some of today modifications. The secondary image is not quite the whole painting and shows yesterdays efforts. Just to make it clear this is just the background to the music that will be begun late this evening or tomorrow. Hey, I am getting to the point where there is a push to move on. It is just the matter of reaching the point where what is done is all that can be expected. Each painting like each person has depths that cannot be understood but only accepted. That was taught to me by the Velveteen Rabbit, you’re only ugly to those that don’t understand, or so it goes. So it goes.

This is a close up of this painting from last night. This base is not finished but I wanted to post a close up because of the canvas size it is hard to see the detail. Since then there has been, and it is still going on, more paint that has been freely spread on this canvas. The feeling of being finished, or acceptable, just is not there, yet.
The mood does not seem right. On bright side, as soon as it dries there will be more room for more paint. Sooner then later, something will come together and it will just be known to move on. It always happens, even though right now, there is wonder.
