The old colours show through where I 'miss' with the palette knife. I couldn't make up some of the effects and it gives the new painting a liveliness I like.<BR/>Both of your paintings here are pretty good but the re-do is simpler and fresher.<BR/>Cheers.daviddrawsandpaintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431945969048461283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-70473671476809920982008-04-04T13:33:00.000-04:002008-04-04T13:33:00.000-04:00i'm trying to save paintings now where before i wo...i'm trying to save paintings now where before i would just gesso over em and go on. just cant erase two hours of my life without at least trying to get a little something for it. but some are completely hopeless and cant be saved. people want to know why i charge so much (in their estimation) for a painting if it only takes around two hours. i say that painting took me 50 years to complete. its our sum experience that keeps the time down to an affordable figure. (that also applied to my sign painting business when i did that)<BR/>hope youre feeling better as well!mike rooney studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318109342734118088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938977818099616686.post-86370728936584145332008-04-04T09:18:00.000-04:002008-04-04T09:18:00.000-04:00Now THAT is what I call a re tread.
