Well for better or for worse - here's the repainted picture. It's less bland; it's also less immediately attractive: the first version had the virtue and simultaneous vice of being relatively inoffensive, except to me - whom it offended because it was as exciting as a dish of cold porridge. You could take my mind off it entirely by buying it, of course ..... A snip at £150: acrylic on canvas.... I don't, to be honest, quite know what I think of it yet, but - well, here it is.
Well, I knew what I thought of it later! I hated it; it was no better than the first effort, and in some respects worse. So - May 10th 2013! - I'm having another go: as it stands, this picture doesn't work; no focal point, and whatever's going on in the foreground, there doesn't seem to be any reason for the wave pattern. I should put my foot through the canvas, really, and move on: but I just have a feeling there's something a little less repellent lurking in there: but I could fiddle away at this for another two years or more, and still not find it...
