The Beauty of a Deadline

Oh, it's been close to finished for some time, but this morning this painting gets delivered to the Graton Gallery for its Alumni Show, so I finally dropped my office organization and headed back to the studio.

Around here, when a painting gets close to finished, we like to get another one going, keep up the momentum, so often those finishing details are postponed until really needed. And then they always take longer than you expect.
Now I'm just hoping to finish this column of small ones by, say, the weekend.
