Paint Along - Final Painting

Well...here's the final mess, er painting. I liked the painting up until the final step and then I blew it. In the final step we were to add color by "printing" with the paint by putting it on a foam plate or something of that nature and pressing it onto the painting. I knew what I wanted to do but the paint just didn't want to cooperate. I realized it as soon as I put paint to paper and tried to clean it off but it just didn't want to budge. So, in an effort to salavage what I could I scumbled the yellow, white, gold mixture that had smeared so badly into other areas. It still needed something else so I started painting more swirlies in a bronzy-gold color. Then another disaster struck. I got a huge dribble of paint near the right hand corner that most definitely did NOT fit into my plans! I ended up painting that big fireworks looking thing there to cover it up. I hated having to cover up the masked shapes that I liked. ICK! Can you say OVERWORKED! Oh well, maybe it can be cut up to use for backgrounds in other pieces.
