i don't know what you are talking about! i think it looks great! you do inspire me, however, to gesso over the old and start anew. it's all about the process anyway, right?

i still think it looked great!

Hey...I thought your "not so good" and "worse" were starting to look really great! I think next time you should keep going before you gesso. I'll take your throw aways anyday!

I agree with the others, your page was coming so alive-and was really good! We often are our own worse critic though and only you really know if what you are seeing is what you're really feeling.

I have a painting I recently totally reincarnated and it turned out 100 times better so I know where your coming from though. :)

I thought both were very good pieces...Your post and comments remind me of myself--I'm so self critical and struggle with confidence....

However, the more we try something over and over, the better we get....

Good luck. I think what I've seen so far -- your work is fabulous and you're really talented!
