I used as a start a painting I did in June that irritated me every time I looked at it.

| activated canvas at the ready! |
Scribbled on some ink. Started working on another piece at the same time. Approached both pieces from a strong place of what-if, and felt improvisational, experimental, and light of heart.
Best of all, in the end I replaced that annoying landscape with art that is much more compelling to me in its detail, quirkiness, surprises, and depth.

A flower garden of needlework. Have't seen it on the big screen. What a transformation!Love it!
Wauw, this is really variation! I love very much the idea that something that irritates you can be transformed to something completely new that feels good!
Love it Dotty! I love the busy scribbly blooms, the chunky hillside. So invigorating! A++ for most transformed piece of art!
Thanks, Carol. The transformation warms my heart, I must say, especially since I was struggling with an internal tug-of-war when painting the original on a June vacation and ended up painting something that didn't speak to my heart.
Thanks, Simone. Isn't it just magic when that transformation takes place? Baby step by baby step I am growing in letting myself be daring enough to let go and see what happens.
Thanks, Sheila! Glad to get such warm responses to this transformation piece : )
Have you been painting lately???
