Sometimes we create a painting that just is not working. I use those to experiment with different techniques and colors. This painting was a traditionally colored scene, but I decided to cover it with a glaze of red paint. I loved it so I kept going, enhancing the reds with a little orange, and the lighter areas and sky with a bit of peach added to the glaze. There it sat when several people told me not to do anything more to it that it was beautiful and different!
