Painting Over Old Paintings

 


I’ve been painting over a lot of old paintings lately.
Here is a quick lay-in of thin oil paint I did recently.

And here is the painting I painted over.

When I came back to “finish” it
I was amazed by how much
some of the painting underneath added to the scene,
and I loved the affect.
So I cleaned up the sky, added some branches,
and accented the yellow line and left it.

“Winter Light”
16 x 16 oil

I may keep working on this but I almost don’t want to.
We used to call these “happy accidents”.
