So this is Day 4 or Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings and 30 days challenge.
Sometimes I see an acrylic painting in my studio that was ok at the time but basically annoys me now. This was one of those paintings so I decided to just paint right over it in oils from a still life set up. I like it much better now and it was certainly good practice to sketch right over the paintings with my oils and go for it. A little bit of the original painting is peeking through. A closer inspection shows it better.I wish I had taken a picture of the original and I know that it is posted somewhere on this blog but I couldn't find it. It was a little village with a graffiti-like background. I probably would paint over more of these graffiti -like paintings but several of them sold a couple of years ago. Who would'a thought???

Martha, I like it that you just went with your guts and painted over the old painting. This one looks beautiful.
nice
I love this, it is full of light and warmth!
Painting over old, unloved painting is a good way to re-use a canvas and the old under layer may add interest, too.
I'm painting with acrylic and I want to try oil, too.
This is so gorgeous
