How do I know when a painting is finished?

This is a frequently asked question. To me, there are two answers: 

1. It is finished when I can’t think of one more thing that would enhance the composition; or 
2. It is never finished! 

The first answer is my signal to sign it and hang it in the gallery. But, in fact, when I study a painting that I have decreed “finished”, it often calls to me to try one more thing, make one more mark, add one more color, take one more risk. Sometimes I ignore the impulse, but often I go ahead and do that “one more thing”. Occasionally it helps, but sometimes the painting gets overworked. What happens then? I keep working on it until the problems are resolved, or I paint over it with gesso and START AGAIN.
