What to do with leftover paint? Left over paint is usually placed, smeared and brushed onto my next canvas as an undercoat for my next painting. This layer is the most freeing of all, hidden under the finale painting. But it is a suggestion of where the painting might lead. Next day I was ready to paint. I began with cool colors layering over the warm colors. An image of an old home place began to emerge. I remember driving by this place many time, and regretfully I never took the time to paint it. So all that was left was a vague memory of a place and time I loved. After it had a chance to dry a little, I added a few details on the barn. I believe it is finished or maybe not!
