I would leave it as it is, and rename it something to reflect this story.

It would be confusing for sure. You'd have finished the art, but it would be of an uneaten pomegranate.. not a finished one which would just look like empty pomegranate peels. I think it must remain unfinished. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-79744027457194987792009-05-25T00:57:49.224-07:002009-05-25T00:57:49.224-07:00I think you should buy several, then you can eat e...I think you should buy several, then you can eat each, as you complete another section of you depiction!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-83510427880797207072009-05-24T14:48:14.849-07:002009-05-24T14:48:14.849-07:00Marguerite, thank you. :-) I have had a hankering...Marguerite, thank you. :-) I have had a hankering for lobster, ever since I visited your blog.<br /><br />Lovelyprism, they are delicious, aren't they?<br /><br />Thilde, thank you! And yes, I have framed it, unfinished, and it actually looks pretty good. Who knew!<br /><br />A Human Kind of Human, I think I will have a pomegranate, right after I have some lobster. *heh*<br /><br />Paula, you know, believe it or not, the more I look at it unfinished, the more I like it that way. I have framed it.<br /><br />Pranksygang, yes, aren't pomegranates wonderful? And fun to draw too. :-)<br /><br />Leslie, maybe I get find one at Granville Market. :-)<br /><br />Lorna, what a brilliant idea! The next time, I am going to do that.<br /><br />Cat, I agree with you. I rather like it unfinished. I had put it away, but now I am going to keep it framed.<br /><br />Kathy, yes! Thank you. Great idea. You know, for some reason I really enjoying sketching and painting fruit -- apples, oranges, pears, pomegranates...<br /><br />LoverOfLife, I think you're right, I may have difficulty finding one, but I rather like the unfinished picture. :-)<br /><br />Dee, it seems to be almost unanimous -- I'm keeping the painting unfinished.
