I often joke that i don't actualy paint so much a wrestle with the paint. This is true. the big cat statue picture was one such example. There were many many tumbles with the painting, none of which I felt were wins on my end. It may be a case were the starting premise was so incorrect that little or nothing could save it. The end result is the building picture. I simply scrapped the idea after months and gessoed over it to do the picture it now is.
I would like to revisit the painting idea again but obviously not on that canvas.
