KOI POND & Signing your painting

KOI POND
Watercolor - 11x14

Does signing a painting mean that you are finished? For me it is usually the last thing I do when I feel like I have nothing more to add and I feel that sense of completion. I try to give myself some time and distance from the painting but occasionally I will still come back and feel the need to add a few more things. Signing the painting is an important and personal ritual. It means a job well done and the end of that particular, exciting creative journey!
