[Chris Saper]

Dear Joseph,

If it has value to you, keep it.

However, if you have kept it around because:

a) You think you might go back and 'fix'it; or
b) It's not good enough to sell, and maybe you'll give it to someone,

Then get rid of it. After all, you might get hit by a truck tomorrow, and all of your rejects will define the work of a lifetime, and you could end up like Renoir, where all the weakest paintings go on tour to venues like Phoenix.

Chris
