When it goes wrong.....

Every once in a while a painting goes off on a tangent from the original concept. Generally it's a simple move that turns into a painting saga.......before you know it you're up to your butt in muck!

REFERENCE

VASE

OUTLINE on 30x30 canvas

FLOWER CHANGE...OOPS!

Mmmmmm.....indigestion comes to mind!

WIPE OUT! SALVAGE TIME?

UNFINISHED, BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR THE BLUE VASE....OFF TO THE BIN!

FIRST, A DAY OFF! Go see a non artist friend who has a good eye and do a serious Sunday critique.

EDIT AND CLEAN UP

872 Peonies in a Blue Vase 30x30 oil on linen (12-2-13)

LESSON LEARNED! NEVER CHANGE THE CONCEPT!
