...what happened here?

Ugly but beautiful,

in a strange way.

'Gnarled'

Oils and cold wax medium on 20x16 inch canvas 

This painting had not gone well so

I decided to scrape back the thick oil

in an attempt to save it.

Scraping revealed the texture beneath 

giving the image a curious gnarled effect.

Suddenly the picture had come to life.

I like the weird mysterious shapes 

almost tree-like with a hole in the middle.

It can stay and is drying on the table.

Dealing with a problem canvas...

Frustration with a piece of art is quite common.

When not going well it can seem like a battle of wills. 

 Artist versus canvas.
