Donation continued/Finished...for now

I once was told that a painting is never done until it's sold. 

I can think of lots of other things I could try to do to this little series of panels and taking a risk is always a good thing. I could go deeper in the blue areas. I could try to glaze back some of the busy cutout areas. I could clean up more edges or maybe do something with the vertical green stripe. I could add another dark blue grid pattern over the others -- maybe get a little more depth -- as if peering through shadowed buildings to see a bright sunrise. But this would be trying to add a narrative element to what was intended to be an abstract painting -- art that doesn't attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures. I could do more.

Or I could leave it alone.
