Battered and bruised

Still working as hard as ever and getting much more self critical as to when a peice is finished or just needs to be painted over. Threw out over 500 works recently trying to more ruthless about quality.
Painted over old work for last two years, must have painted over 300 or more and still more to do.
This week I painted these well more but only these are being kept rest tweeked or painted over AGAIN! exhausting but hey I still love it. peace!

changes

After much soul searching the last two weeks has seen me withdraw my work from seven galleries and more to do in the coming months. A brave or foolish thing to do is yet to be revealed.
Below are some recent pieces. I am now back in the studio and been exploding with paint a right messy affair I can assure you. So I will post the results soon still drying and still to decide if any good.
I am being much harder on what is good enough and what isn't ie editing and now some of the work has as many as five paintings underneath, more sometimes.
These are a mixture of outdoor work slightly touched up and studio work, feeling very unsure about what to do but completely contradicting on previous enteries now find myself back in the studio being totally wild just can't help myself. But I do think its good to try different things and will continue to work on plein air and studio work and work from imagination.
