Sultry

 Lots of Starts:  I once heard an audio tape of Charles Hawthorne's advice to his painting students.  One thing he counseled  was "Make many starts."  I took that advice this week.  Days of painting were going by and nothing was really clicking.  So I made some new starts by  painting over a few old pieces.  This turned out to be great!  The previous paint and collage made very  intricate surfaces, and I adapted some of the old shapes into the new pictures.  It was great fun!
Sultry is 8x8" acrylic media and collage on panel.

  1. I'm loving how you are turning the old into the new. Reinventing is what so many of us are up to these days, in one way or another...and your capturing it on canvas!
