Lesson Learned. Again.

This was a quick and fun painting I did last week

 from an image I've had for awhile. 

Spring on Newbury Street

9 x 12 oil 

I rarely go in and make big changes after the fact. 

Usually just a few tweaks and fixes, that's it. 

Whenever I do, I end up loosing the freshness and spontaneity.

For some reason I thought the railing needed to be straightened and,

well you can see.....

 the painting became over worked and fussy. 

Lesson learned.  

Again!
