working my paintings over and over has become a useful tool

Memories of the Swimming Hole, acrylic on canvas, 30 x 30"

There is really never a dull moment in my painting process.
In this particular piece I was not connecting with the composition I had originally painted. (See my post on 5/11). I had to do something to rescue the entire painting.
​I simplified, I added color galore and I reinvented the scene, adding whatever dropped into my mind at the time -- i.e. the pedal car and the swimming hole!
Now, I can invite you to jump into the scene.
