CMSA; todays thoughts inspired by an artist i respect and whose work shines out to me (i'll never fforget those heads in jars); Pamela Rae Baker ; Pamela, u would not believe how many greater paintings exist under the final versions of mine.....but in the end, if you just keep going, you reach that point where you "can live with it" as you say...i like to get them out of the studio at this point...otherwise i never feel done, always something i want to add or take away, not surprising, considering we're aiming at a virtually impossible goal: PERFECTION!!!!!!!! don't know the title of this pamela painting but i love it and call it "People In Jars", by Pamela Rae Baker
