Repeat and Rinse

Sometimes it takes more than one try to get a thing right.
​Improvement is tough to quantify, but recently I discovered the urge to give it a go.
 
Whether it's a recipe or a painting, something can be gained through repetition.
That's a long way of saying that I am about to repeat a series I did more than twenty years ago. (A lot more).  But it's been on my mind, this painting, and I've spent a few months gathering the tools to do the series, and I think it's a good thing to do as Spring is rolling in.

Today I'm going to post the painting that launched my thesis series back in college. 
Don't ask the year,  it only sets me off on a "where did the time go?" thing that slows me down.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, the first painting that made me feel like a painter.

Wow -------- oh, you want comments ... ok, the reason I think this is the reason you painted it and then felt like a painter is ...
let me count a few of the ways:
1 - because it fills the frame
2 - because it is colorful
3 - because it channels Georgia
4 - and because it is edgy (to me)

I am enticed to see your series, Margaret!
