Paintings Revisited

I read a phrase yesterday that I liked very much. Instead of an artist saying she was "reworking" a painting, she referred to the name of the painting and added the word "revisited" at the end. An artist often looks at a painting that he or she has completed years earlier and sees ways to improve it. They then go back and paint some more on the original painting. I often do that to paintings that I may like but have not sold. I look to see if there is something that can be done to the painting to improve it. So, I will continue to paint new paintings, but also continue to "revisit" older works of art from time to time.
