When a painting just doesn't work - paint over it!

When a painting doesn’t work - paint over it!

You might be surprised by how many of my paintings have other paintings underneath.

I always have a point in the middle of painting when things aren’t going well. I attribute this to the point where my playful side gives over to my critical brain… which points out all the bits that aren’t working. Most of the time all it takes is for me to walk away, tweak, a few times.

However, sometimes a painting just doesn’t flow and my struggle with it shows. So, out come the paints and another layer is born.
