STEP 8 FINISH

Figure 20 The finished painting

The final refinements have been added. This is a matter of
personal choice. You can go too far doing this. I have added a
bicycle for a sense of life. Someone may be visiting!
But you decide how to end the painting. You are the artist and
your vision is what matters. Overall I think the advice to keep
your statement simple, bold and strong is good advice. I try to
keep this mantra close to heart when I paint.
