Like pulling teeth...

this one has been very tricky to say the least.......but in an exciting, if somewhat exhausting, manner!   I've been exploring this painting....2o" x 28"....for most of the day...it's time to call it quits!!!   But i learned a valuable lesson....in the extra i've put a shot of it at it's most unappealing and when i felt like giving up on it!   But i remembered the wise words of another artist....just scrub, remove....add some, take some away....but keep going!   So that's what i did.   I'm at a somewhat satisfied place, but i'll stop here...time for a beer!!!!
