RE: "Nude in Landscape" - original painting in acrylics
way back when - when they tried to get me to do large paintings in art class, I would later cut up the unfinished ones, taking out the best parts and rework them. The rest of the canvas I saved for their background textures and would use them many years later.
I did this too. These three paintings were one before I cut them up:
I did this mostly to unfinished paintings - and I think our cases are proof that Aristotle was wrong (“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”) - because after cutting them up I did not only have a couple of finished paintings, but also a bunch of smaller canvases left over that had already some sort of background on it that was useful.
