Inspired by a Challenge?

Recently someone mentioned this abstract landscape I did on a full sheet at a Sterling Edwards workshop last summer. While it may not have been a total failure, it didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. I photo'd the piece and gave it away. Now I'm thinking about giving it another try.


"Canyon Homes"


I still feel challenged to try to get it right. I think I can do better. Sometimes the challenge remains after a painting is finished, perhaps because it didn't say quite what we wanted it to say. Maybe that's why Monet kept painting haystacks and water lilies...
