Scraping Off the Paint

Well last night looked at what I had done in the a.m. in my effort to "re-do" my old painting.  I got a terrible headache looking at it and the lack of wonderfulness that I thought I had seen in the morning.  So...I just scraped off all the new paint, then took the whole canvas into the sink and cleaned it off with soap and water to reveal the acrylics that are still underneath.  Now my art room smells like turpentine, with rags and old paint in the trash can;  I am less than in love with my work and need to get out of here for a little while; so I'll be back in here tomorrow.
