Nadine's Drawing Challenge: At sixes and sevens

I love that expression, at sixes and sevens, but like it a whole lot less when I'm there.And I've been there loads of times.In fact, judging by the collection of canvases in my "burn pile" and the plethora of half finished "thought-it-was-a-good-ideas" at the thrift store, loads of us have been there.Look at these three little canvases I found recently. They cost a whopping $1.50 together and, although someone was at sixes and sevens when they gave up on them, there's nothing wrong with them that a little sandpaper won't fix.So armed with new bravery, and a full busy week, I resurrected one of my "disasters" of a painting, and decided to paint my way out of it.I know this sky was originally painted with oils, and it's not like I'm starting with a fresh canvas, so I had to keep going with the oils.This is one small problem in my world because there is no way, with the week I've had, that I could possibly finish this canvas, but, whatever! It'll get finished eventually.I decided that yellow magnolias would be lovely on this moody sky, so I opened the computer to a bunch of Google images of yellow magnolias......and got to work.In about four hours over two days of painting, we have the beginnings of a resurrected canvas, AND, it's even looking like it might be a nice painting!There it is drying in the living room. I think I'm going to like this one. :DOvercome your art disasters with some help from our friends over at Nadine's this week.Thank you for hosting Woolfie girl. :D
