know when to walk away

This isn't the first time I've titled a blog post "know when to walk away." When I hear the lyrics of The Gambler begin to play in my head, I try to heed the advice and step away from the easel. I've been working slow and steady on this 25 x 25 inch painting with no major setbacks or wipe offs. I'm very happy with it but it is good to be finished and to be able to move on to the next one I have in mind that will be a very different palette.

    Thanks everyone for taking time to comment on this piece. It is large for me (25x25) and seemed to take forever to finish but it was also great fun to have room to finesse each area. I look forward to painting this size again soon.
