lower creekscape 12x40” oil and collage on portrait linen

4:16 PM: today i performed minor surgery on a painting i was working on last month. i reached a dead end, so i put it in the storage room. i discovered it this morning, tacked it to the wall and saw immediately that the lower portion was a complete painting in itself. so i found 12x40” stretcher bars, cut off the bottom 14 inches, allowing room for stretching, and re-stretched it. i’ll bring it over to the house & see how it hold up over there. i’m calling it lower creekscape.
