Occasionally I find myself finishing a painting, framing, and exhibiting it – and then seeing the improvements I think I can make. Sometimes a single aspect of a painting dictates the result, and other times it needs to be ignored and painted over.

This usually results in a lost picture or a trip to the tip! This time it worked for me and I love the new boat which can be viewed in my shop. The Cove
