Sometimes...

...a painting just doesn’t work at all.

Quite a few of my paintings have several paintings under them. It’s quite an amusing thought that maybe one day, some academic with too much funding and curiosity may take an X-Ray to the paintings to discover what lies beneath them. (I know, me and my friend Ego...) When a painting doesn’t work, I’ll continue working on it in the hope that just a little something may make that all important difference and sometimes I’ll just stop and without a moment of hesitation, simply cover the lot with black primer.

I’m still trying to figure out exactly what I did - or didn’t do - that the painting did not turn out as planned.

I’m not even going to bother naming this one.
