WATERCOLOR!

Every now and again -- I take an older watercolor and rethink it.

I have a better perspective and freedom ... in making decisions that are bold.

This watercolor was "working" already -- but it needed something more.

So, I took the huge step of laying an overall glaze of Prussian Blue to subdue the focus.

This veil of blue added a bit more mystery and ambiance.

Now, I have to tweak some of the areas... along with smaller blue veils of targeted glaze.

I already like the painting much more.. and feel that reworking it has been a bonus-- both for learning something... AND.... a nicer, richer painting.
