4"x6" oil on board. This painting is painted on top of a wipe. A wipe is when an artist, due to some mishap, mistake or just because they feel like it, scrapes and/or wipes a painting or section of a painting clean. The artist then either repaints or throws the freshly wiped board at the neighbor's cat to keep it from doing its business in my vegetable garden. Since there was no cat outside, I chose to repaint. The first painting was just the hammer alone sitting upright like an upside down "T" and something just didn't seem right to me, so I wiped it and painted this instead.
