This is probably the largest painting I've ever done. I started it as a Christmas present for my mom, but it ended up sitting in my closet, half-finished for a whole year. It just sat there staring at me, saying, "When are you going to finish me?" With almost every painting I do, I reach a point about halfway where I start to hate the painting (especially my larger ones). If I stop at that point for a long period of time, it's really hard to come back to that painting and finish it. However, when I finish a painting, I'm usually pretty satisfied with the end result.
