Last week while I was putting my portfolio together I came across some paintings that had long been destroyed or painted over. It was interesting to see them again. They aren't as horrible as I thought they were. I am crazy about the rows of small figures. I can remember drawing and painting each one of them. I don't think today I could duplicate them with the fluidity that is found in this painting and others I produced at the same time.Saturday, April 12, 2008
Looking back

One of the things I do now is that I no longer throw out stories/pieces that didn't work. I save them and go back and poke through them from time to time. Often, they aren't nearly as bad as I had thought and can be worked on because my skills set has changed.
I realize that painting and writing are two different things, but the general concept could apply.
