'It is finished' will not be, as we know from the tradition of the ordering of these words from the cross, the last words of Jesus. 'It is finished' is a cry of victory.
To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture.
I'm not gonna say it's all done, 'cause it ain't ever all done.

What is once well done is done forever.
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
