So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehn, Goodbye

One of the categories of paintings is Do-overs. This usually means that I look at a painting that hasn’t sold and try to figure out what it is lacking. The usual answer is that it needs brighter colors and more contrast. Sometimes the answer is to add more detail and precision.

Sometimes the answer is to simply say “So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye.”

Say “Bye-bye” to these 2 wildflower paintings:

So what if I LOVE Explorer’s Gentian? Apparently, I am alone in this. Ditto the Leopard Lily. Yes, I could find a place to hang them in my house, but I am choosing a different path for these canvases.

Say what?

More will be revealed (and hidden) in the fullness of time (and the application of oil paint.)
