My painting this summer sucks. In the spring I started reworking this painting. I was enjoying it immensely. I loved it for a long time. Then I went to Lanai. When I got back, I decided that I needed to loosen it up. (I must have had an island hangover and was feeling loosie goosie) Now, I think this piece is headed south. It is on it's way to oblivion.

Landscapes are simpler. There is a beginning a middle and most important, an end. These paintings, which I've been calling "collages" for want of a better name, because they are not really "collages," are more experimental. I have averaged a 75% failure rate, (maybe more) with these "collage" experiments. So the ones that I finish give me a thrill.
I can't decide which way to hang it either. I like it both ways, vertical and horizontal.
I don't think it is entirely a goner yet. (I think there are still a few more days to keep flogging it to death.) : )
