"Seal Rock" 19" x 30" is of one of my favorite places to paint. Begun as an acrylic painting on location in 1991, it is now three quarters oil paint."South Santiam River
" is a 29" x 22" oil painting that has seen changes through the years but today's changes covered almost the entire surface. It was a joy to cover up all the picky overworked surface.
"Wayside on Hwy 101" is another rescue of an unwanted eleven year old, 24" x 18" oil painting. Once it had a lovely gold frame and was exhibited in several distinguished galleries but just didn't sell after repeated exposures and changes of frames. Even my family never took this puppy in. I have really changed the foreground and like it myself much better now.

Those are interesting. Next time you do one, you might consider more before and after shots, to let your readers see what you didn't feel satisfied regarding the original and then what it became after reworking the vision.
Wow, what a transformation. The skeletal "design" of the painting is still there but like a chameleon it it has changed into a more intense and fearless creature. In highway 101,I love the intense orange amongst the cooler colors. It also has a Japanese feel to it. This looks like it was so fun!
