I went back to school after 20 years ... my mentor answered my question "How come I get 70 per cent through a painting and lose interest, or can't seem to finish it? If I force it, I kill the painting" with this useful advice: "In every painting we start there is one thing that made us want to do the painting, a shape, color or trick of light. Leave that detail til last and the painting will build to a satisfying climax when we achieve what we have anticipated for the entire painting." I have never had the problem since.
