If I do have another go at it, it'll be an entirely new painting.harry bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853116370799042788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-33335779303791582792013-08-04T14:09:15.115+01:002013-08-04T14:09:15.115+01:00I like that you understand that a painting is an i...I like that you understand that a painting is an intellectual and emotional process and that it is in your head anyway. Yes I do really like this painting but destruction, decay, is part of life. I recently accidentally ripped a tear in a canvas I was working on.

Hope you get inspired once more when the move is complete.

I do think you should put Millennium Bridge on the future to-do list, though.<br /><br />BillFTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04611673550542949877noreply@blogger.com
