Thanks Jeff, but I agreed with you so I did do a sort of glaze. It's in the Unveilings if you want to look. If I didn't agree with you I would not have changed it. I think amateurs as well as professionals can critique and give useful comments. My husband for example is dead-on with his critiques, yet he can't paint a thing. You don't have to be a painter to be able to see.
About re-working paintings - I used to be scared to death of it, but not anymore. There was this fear that I would make it worse or what if I can't get it back again? I just over came it by realizing it wasn't an accident that I got it right in the first place so I can do it again and better each time.
