Mars in the Abstract

















I worked off and on all summer on this piece, spending more time on it than any 20 other paintings. And it doesn't show, of course. Hell, I might not even be done yet. But now that I took the photo I'll put a few coats of varnish on it and see what I think. My 5 year old granddaughter spent several weeks visiting and we worked on this together; she giving me her opinion and I teaching her the concept of "it", as in all those other previous versions were certainly not "it" even if she liked them. I'm far from certain this is "it" yet, but I've about given up hoping to finding "it" in this piece, if I haven't already.
