new work on top of old one

I have agreed to participate in Works on Canvas's Size Matters Show. So I took a large failed painting from a class and re-painted it. Already this photograph is out of date because, in looking at the photo, I realized that the lines are too hard, took a paint brush and painted over them. I really should make myself stop around five. I get too tired to be sensible.

I waited forever to work on this painting because I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to do anything worthwhile. If I keep that attitude, I'll never do anything so I decided to plunge right in. At the very least, I can tell myself that someday, if I keep practicing, I'll get better. Certainly won't get anywhere dithering. I know that I can do something more subtle as there is an example earlier in this blog. Someday I'll be able to do it purposely, not by happy accident.
