I am not sure if I have posted about finding the heart of a larger piece and cutting it down to create a smaller better piece. Something I do often, particularly if a piece is just hanging around or has not sold and I reconsider its strengths and weaknesses. I put it on the floor and try a variety of frames to isolate areas to see if I can find areas to save. Its not uncommon to find a few strong 8x10s from a larger weak piece. Another reason I like to paint on boards when I can - so easy to take to the chop saw.

| Original sketch - too much foreground |
 |
| Chop saw at work |
 |
| 8x10 cut down that I think (hope) is stronger |
 |
| Thought I would like this start better in square format 12x12 - now to finish the piece |
 |
| 20x30 stretched canvas with poor composition |
 |
| Tried 14x18 frame and think I found a stronger composition |
 |
| Marked and cut canvas - but accidentally tore it pulling off frame |
 |
| White glue spread on doorskin to remount |
 |
| Re-framed, torn area mended using acrylic gel and paint - now to decide what it needs to finish |
