 Creative failures...? 

 I tend to keep reworking falures, as  per my 'palimpsest' approach, so many of these are buried underneath more successful paintings.

'Flanders field' then became this, but everyone hated it, so it's going toward the rubbish heap...the canvas has been so overworked, it's actually come loose on the stretcher.

Flat mountain

Mountains, mountains...

Mountains, mountains...

More  mountains....

More mountains....

Lakes? Hmm....

Lakes? Hmm....

And we have... a tram. Why?

This one got some good feedback, but it lacked movement to me; it's been painted over 5 times...
