"DISCARDED" discarded.

The painting previously shown called "DISCARDED" has now been........discarded! I just wasnt happy with it at all. So boring, so stilted, so forced. I went mad today in the studio and in just an hour turned it into this. I have placed two photographs of it as the light caused me problems. It is a dark painting, but perhaps not as dark as the photo suggests, and not as light as the other photo would have you believe. This just serves to show that the camera does indeed lie ! Anyway, its called, I think, FADED MEMORY. The image captures an old memory of a friend of mine who modelled for a living but is now retired (Dianne). so it comes from my memory. I just attacked the canvass, not caring too much, confident in my figure drawing skills and it worked. This marks the start of the rest of my painting career and the end of THE BROWN SHAWL PROJECT. I feel so relieved having made this decision. It is the right decision for me. Anyway, enjoy or not, let me know what you really think and then live your life productively. Love all, hurt none, and find all of your answers deep within yourself.
