Sometimes, you just change your mind......

I started this painting, for a show a local decorator, Dawn's Interiors, is hosting in her shop.  The show is called "A Prarie Winter". Round bales in the snow, so typical of the prairies. The more I worked on it the less I was happy with it, though. I got looking at more photos on Morguefile, a site that has copyright free photos you can use and I got re-inspired!  Then it turned into this!   Yup, painted right over that sucker!! And I LOVE it. 

It's 16 x 20  and my daughter, Angela, suggested the name " Storm", Perfect!  I dropped it off yesterday for the show.  Sometimes (always) it's better to stop the struggle and change directions.  

Have a great day!
