 Working over an old one that was in the do-over pile here.  It's from a photo reference that my Dad took in AZ, and I really liked the coyote - the photo doesn't show it but he's really nice shades of blue, lavender and yellow.  Then I proceeded to totally ruin it with a choppy harsh colored background, and I fussed over it until I couldn't stand the painting anymore.  I dug it out this week, though, and decided to try to salvage.  I've run a very neutral wash over all the background, and am debating how much detail to put back in.  This will definitely be a "less is more" painting.  Sometimes those are the hardest.
