Re-working a Painting

Why Would I Re-Work a Painting?

I didn't like it!

I didn't like it so much I didn't take a picture of the before.

The original had a green background

and one purple hydrangea bloom.

I love green and purple together.

This was an older work and while I liked it in the beginning,

I no longer liked it and realized how poor it was.

Hydrangea Love

10" x 8" acrylic on canvas panel

unframed

$50 + $8 shipping

This really isn't a re-work.

I completely painted a new painting

over an old one.

There is nothing left of the original painting.

It's fairly impressionistic which I love.

For me, the thing that makes it work

are the leaves that separate the blooms.

I think this just shows we should never give up

on a work even if we don't like it.

As we continue to paint,

we learn something every time.

Sometimes we learn what not to do.

I had a great time working on this painting.
