I have been playing around with old paintings because I figure there isn't anything I can do to ruin them, so I should just have some fun. Here is a before (below) and after (above) of a painting I did in 2005, when I was in Connecticut. I was so happy with this painting at the time. There are some aspects of the original that I do still like better now that I see them together. I lost some of the expressive quality of the water channels coming at the viewer and the feeling of light. That is the beauty of oil paints and photography. I can use the photo of the original to go back in and try to bring some of that back.
