This one really gets to me. I think it has to do with the distortions which somehow bring the picture completely out of the ordinary. Bob,

He some how uses them to inspire him. Another painter I know would paint over his paintings with a dark think green color, let it dry for a week or more and then selectively wipe clean with medium. That brave!! June

I've always struggled when trying to explain this to non artist. Steve, I glad you get what I mean about the collaboration. I’ve always struggled when trying to explain this to non artist.

Not that they would work the same way for me, or it's improbable that they would. But I have all kinds of tricks I use so the canvas isn't totally blank -- I underpaint, I do watercolor that I paint over with oils, when I'm doing textiles I often begin with a hand-dyed fabric (a bit like underpainting only more mottled) and let it help me over the obsessions that the early stages can bring on. Thanks for the insights. And I might have to try turning a lost cause upside down and painting over it. I have a lot of lost causes.... Ah, Bob, I do understand now why the acrylics.

Your re-painting and your idea of the collaboration of the two media are both fascinating. Bob,
