You ever paint something that, after finished, you're not happy with? The work is perhaps good, but still ...? Still, you're not happy?
What if you don't like the final results but don't want to paint over it?
This painting worked on many levels. I wanted to convey a certain
turbulence, a certain emotional ebb and flow. I got this through the liquidified effects of the sky, the wall and the grass. The stone doorway came out right. The problem is the expression on her face. The problem is she looks too smug, too arrogant, too cold perhaps? I was thinking frail when I started this and ended up with just the opposite. Which is why I've never showed it to anyone before.

What do you guys think? You think she's cold or perhaps indifferent?
