I've never done this before so it is an interesting experiment: I've neither left a painting unfinished nor hung it on the wall unfinished.  Unlike the fibre art or photography or homemaking, which can be done in stages, when I paint – I paint.  This painting was started many months ago and life suddenly needed full attention (the house sold!) so the easel  and the board and the paints got packed and moved;  Walking Vacuum Home went with them.

Yesterday I was rummaging and came across the painting neatly stacked in the storage area.  This morning I got it out and attached hooks to the back of it and hung it up. It's in the hallway where I pass it – and look at it – many times a day.  I know where the easel is.  I know where the paints are.  Maybe I'll paint.  The house is not for sale.
