I have a bomb from almost a year ago... I have not been able to go back and address the tragedy. The crazy part was I felt as if this one was truly going to paint itself.

Argh.

Love the bag.

Aren't those bombs so tragic to live with! :) I have several tucked away in a closet that I too apparently think might somehow salvage themselves. Why can't we just throw them away!! :) Thanks Jennifer! :)

Hi Sandy, thank you for visiting my blog! Thank you also for your super generous compliments on my paintings!!

Karen, you crack me up - your art is awesome, girl. I second Sandy's comments - artists are so brave and some (you) are more courageous than most!!
My bombs are affectionately called 'opportunities for learning' and are sent to Mr. T (table saw) to inspire a more abstracted piece...see my latest post. Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
