Every once in a while I really don't like what I paint. Not often because I'm really flexible with my expectations of myself, but at times I can't help but feel like I want to crumple my paper up and toss it in the recycling bin.
I had that feeling a few weeks ago, but I fought the urge thinking that maybe, just maybe, the piece would grow on me.
Well, it didn't. So I decided to chop that painting up into four pieces, layer some acrylic on top, and see where it took me. My Phyllis piece from yesterday was one of the pieces. I liked it MUCH better than before. Today's is also one piece. Only with this piece I left one small portion of the original. And now that part I hadn't liked before...well, now I rather dig it.
So, yeah, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater and all that stuff, right? So fun giving my work a new chance at life.
