Why Some Paintings Should Never Be Completed

Some paintings resist completion—not from neglect, but from something unseen, waiting beneath the surface.

Throughout history, artists have abandoned their works, not because they lacked skill or inspiration, but because they felt something staring back. Even in paint by numbers, a seemingly innocent pastime, some painters hesitate before completing a face, as if the final stroke might bring it to life in ways they aren’t prepared for. Others leave paintings unfinished, unsettled by an inexplicable feeling—a whisper of something forbidden.

Is it just imagination, or do certain paintings hold a presence beyond pigment and brushstrokes? A secret that should never be revealed?

Would you dare to finish them? 🎨🔥
