When is a painting finished?

This seems to be the burning question when Laura said that none of the paintings of the object, except a couple were not finished. I thought mine was finished as i have said in my blog. At this moment i have no idea what to do to make it finished so i have left it at college over the holidays so that when i return i might have a different view of it.
With Robert we did a marking exercise to see what to look for in a piece of work to determine what exam mark the paintings should get. Before we marked them we established the criteria we were set for the painting and were told to leave out whether we liked the finished painting. At the end only one mark corresponded with Roberts and when asked to explained his marks he referred to the fact he liked certain ones for different reasons. Ones i thought were not finished and did not fit the criteria he had marked high. This was very confusing and has not helped me to decide if my painting is finished.
