Failure

So here it is. My first failure. I did this in my studio, on a really rushed Saturday afternoon. I had been over there earlier in the day. Taking over an easel. Then I had to find security at school to let me in so I could get paint. That's the problem with having more than one place to paint. Paint and brushes. Seems I have enough brushes to work with either place. But burnt umber, not a chance. At any rate it was late afternoon, and I had this wonderful image of a sunset, pulled from Internet. 

I started and pretty soon had a mess. Too many colors, to much paint getting into paint. I realized I had no idea how to execute this one. The solution was to wipe it clean. The result was mush better, but it isn't a painting. Maybe an under painting. I'll try again when I have it figured out.
