But several of the patches have served as no more than a convenient place to unload last bits of excess paint from my brush. Shall I leave these rough patches as is or develop them?
Throwing caution to the wind, I decide I'll develop one that thus far has been a respository for pinks, yellows, and oranges:
I mix up a palette, slap new paint on the patch, tear some print collage and affix it, toss some India ink into the mix.

But it's a start, not a finish.
