Palimpsest was the result of destroying a piece of artwork (of a face) whose end result I was not too happy about.

In this case, my reaction was to the quality of the work and not necessarily my inability to understand the subject matter. I have often had experiences of the latter also.

Did you really destroy it???? It is so radically different from anything of yours that I've seen that I'm awestricken. I find that I often destroy or at least shelve works that I can't find a way to go through or work further. I can get very frustrated by not knowing what it is that I'm getting at -- I can't evaluate what I've done. It isn't so much a reaction to the quality of the work as it is a reaction to my inability to understand or to further what I'd been doing. Abstract painting is the worst because I can get lost in doing it so easily and if lost, I can't sort out what to do next. It all goes into a muddle. Sunil,

I do often return to images much later, sometimes with quite different ideas than when they were first captured. For that very reason, I don't want too many gazillion around to scan through when I'm looking back. Sunil,

Add some claw marks and cigarette butts and it would be spot-on." Sunil Jay,
By the way, my wife was laughing out aloud yesterday on hearing your comment:

“image that you show does depict a relative of mine very well. Add some claw marks and cigarette butts and it would be spot-on.”

I bet that you would welcome a return to your portraits with their greater demands upon your wits and skill." - I am flattered. Yes, I plan on taking your advice and trying to work on that same face that I failed before yet again (this time on a pristine white gessoed MDF). Jay,

If you have captured an image that you like very much, but are not completely satisfied with it, would you go ahead and digitally manipulate your image to try and get it into a state where you would be more satisfied (before deciding to 'delete'/'destroy' it? Steve,
