Is it finished?




I painted more background yesterday. I didn't want to completely get rid of the thin underpainting so I reserved the thicker paint for the center of the painting near the main subject. I also varied the color throughout to avoid the background being a void. I'm not sure I like it when it is photographed, but I do like it when it's in a frame. The light part on the upper left edge is a reflection, which is part of what I don't like in the photo. It doesn't show in the painting. Somehow a good frame makes any painting look better. So, the big question is: Is it finished?
