There are paintings that I have started in the past which I did not complete for a variety of reasons. Sometimes I ran out of time, other times I didn't like the paper I was experimenting with. Or as in plein air I might get caught in a downpour of rain.
Over time I have found I am very comfortable going back and finishing what I started with a fresh perspective. In the meantime my painting approach and palette have evolved quite a bit.
However, I am frugal in many regards and do not want to waste paper. Many times I will end up with watercolors painted on both sides of my watercolor sheet.
This little landscape I added to today, even though it probably was originally started four years ago. More work was done to the sky as I have been experimenting with cloud patterns and coloring close to the horizon.
