Fallen painting over a painting

AFTER:  Fallen  Oil on wood  8" x 8"  SOLD

BEFORE
This is by far the boldest tweak I've made but the life sucking gray background here had to go!  It's amazing the difference background color can make.  ...Once again, I'm reminded how cool "broken paint" is!  I want to do more paintings with broken paint application.  Achieving this effect is easier with a completely dry underpainting.

    Great change! I've always felt getting the right background color makes or breaks a painting. Love the change.
