Half Finished

I often have more than a few half finished paintings laying around my studio. These pieces range from small pieces that just never seem to turn out right to huge paintings that will just take forever. I am always working on a million projects at once so the paintings tend to build up in the corner. Every once in a while I will rifle through my painting stack and pull something out. Yesterday I found this cute little painting on my desk after a frenzy of cleaning. The texture of the canvas had been bugging me and I just could not seem to get it to turn out right: I usually work on a smoother surface like wood or paper. Miraculously after a few hours of work it developed into this little gem. (I think I found my magic paintbrush)
