I have been labouring with this painting and for some reason cannot make it the painting I want it to be. Its probably a case of I didn’t know what I wanted in the first place. I think the strong bands of colour of the field have become too much of a mannerism and they may have frozen the development of the painting. Although I don’t regard it as a failure, its not a success either. I am hoping to return to it in the future, that’s why its has avoided an untimely death.
