It is my birthday tomorrow. I will be 49 years old. I have discovered that I like to wear ties and sport coats. I like rustic spaces and unfinished projects.



My favorite Picasso painting is his portrait of his first wife Olga which was left unfinished. Her face, figure and arm chair are completely rendered but the rest of the painting was never done. There is raw canvas where he wiped off his brush as an afterthought. My life is this unfinished canvas, a work in progress. Who knows what is around that next corner.

I so feel the same way about unfinished projects. I never put that feeling into words, as soon as I read yours here I felt like wow, so that's what it is. I always feel I little sad when I finish one of my own paintings/drawings. And I love work from other artists as well that is still unfinished.
