I've been going through my older paintings and choosing to (a) put them in a pile to be painted over or (b) get reworked. This is one painting I always liked, but the values needed to be strengthened to make it stronger. It's an interesting exercise to analyze what works and doesn't work in a painting and make the attempt to rescue it. Sometimes they still end up in the scrap heap.
Love the activity in this painting. You succeeded in strength. The little rim of orange I love.
ReplyDeleteI think you succeeded in revitalizing this one, Layne! No scrap heap for this one.
