I have been painting

I feel like I have made some progress. Sometimes I feel if i am too timid about paint, using paint anyhow. I do feel genuinely good when I manage to get past it, the inhibition or whatever you call it. I am of the opinion that that is what happened with this set. Not right of the bat but with some effort and intent.
Now I am faced with the usual problem of not making it worse or removing the things I like about a painting by working on it further. On the flip side I cannot bring myself to say that any of these are done. Though I was tempted to leave the scooter picture alone for the sake of maintaining the contrast..

Also I have been looking at older paintings. Many of which I have been less than pleased about their outcome. So, does one give up or go back in. The top one pictured here is at the top of the list. I've already been stretching and pulling it into something way other than my original goal Maybe I need to go full circle and try and reclaim my original vision or at least the original scene. Hmmmm. If I felt that there were enough people reading this blog I would certainly go the democratic way. On the off chance anyone is reading this please feel free to put in your 2¢.
