Paint Out Loud...the story behind the art

I'm starting a new painting - and I am going to work on a canvas that has about 3 failed paintings on it.  Maybe the canvas is doomed - I don't know - but it has lots of great texture on it and often that can be a good way to start.
Sometimes, however, it just won't work - and if that happens this one will be tossed.  Poor canvas can only hold so much paint.
So with high hopes for a successful day - here I go.
It is oil paint on the canvas and so it has to be oil paint to continue.  Which is fine - I have been working in oils consistently for about 2 years and I like it.
