It has been my experience so far that the last strokes on a painting can make or break it!
This painting was actually done as what I refer to as a waste canvas, you know when you use leftover paint to create another painting. It had actually been sitting in my barn for over a year. I pulled it out tonight with the intention of painting over it.
Sometimes just relooking at a piece can be a game-changer. What just looked like a bunch of strokes before tonight was given life. Just creating an open eye made all the difference.
She’s not perfect. She’s not even pretty, but she is unique.
Never throw out a canvas. A second look and a few extra strokes might be your next sale.
Merry Christmas and a blessed new year.
