"Model in Manhattan" 24"x30"
I did this piece in 1998 at a Pratt Manhattan course. Never showed it. I had every intention of covering it with new thick paint and giving it a new life. I learned a big lesson. No matter what I added I inevitably wiped it out. Every time! For 2 hours! I thought things were going well and I got that sick feeling of "I'm destroying something".So my lesson was- Once something is done don't try to redo it. Start anew. I'm not terribly happy with this piece but I was absolutely miserable trying to change it! I think this philosophy applies to many things in life. Not just painting
