Consider the painting within your painting... As I look back at my progress as a painter there was definitely a phase (still lingering) where I would paint a large canvas and one section would be great (relatively) and 3 sections god awful. Going back and evaluating some of these I just cut the part I like out and reframe it. The following portrait comes from such a piece. This was a sprawling composition with a table centerpiece and two more dining room chairs. I worked so hard and it was dreadful. This is now 9 1/2 x 15. It still has its imperfections but it is of my daughter and I like to glance at it still, without all the baggage. Reminds me of both our developement.
