The Re-Work

It is always interesting and pretty fun to share an initial work when it is at a resting point, because you are able to share your raw excitement.  It is also important to let a painting rest and sit, take it's shape, solidify. Immediately you may like it, but over time you it starts to nag at you. To tug and speak, sometimes scream for you to change it. Sometimes the urge to erase it completely starts to take hold. I can be all over the place when it comes to re-working a piece. I have ignored all urges before with the thought that your first instinct is usually the correct one. I have also gone as far as to cover an image completely because it has bothered me so much.  Things need to be edited, right?

In this case, for now, I have only changed the background. I hope that these images stay in a good place for me but there is never a guarantee!
