Well stopped - I'm fiddling, in a desultory way, with an old acrylic I didn't much like; trouble is, I still don't like it, I'm bored with it, and it's stopping me getting on with something else: I have this hatred of abandoning things - but there comes a point at which you have to decide you've done all that you can, the picture is as finished as it's ever going to be, and by continuing with it, you're just going to worry it to death.
Fortunately, you've stopped long before you got to that stage, and have a creditable watercolour to show for it. Whereas I'm just wasting paint......

You never waste paint Robert. I do agree that it a bind when you have something your not content with, it’s a bit like an itch that you cannot reach. I also don’t like waste of time , I don’t think to much about the costs. Some of my old itches have had a second life when someone has taken a liking to it, but I can never see why they would but I suppose that’s art for you one mans junk etc. Plod on good sir you’ll either do it some good or give up and let it itch away in the bin. Thank you for you comments they are appreciated very much. Ron many thanks mate for taking the time to comment.

JThought I would do this as a work in progress, as it something I enjoy doing. The tree I believe is rotting naturally as a lot of old trees do, they sometimes get very black and look like they have been on fire or struck by lightening. We have a couple in the woodlands where I work, they are checked regularly for safety’s sake, they are known to have been rotting away for the last twenty years or more. I have included the original sketch, through to current stage. Don’t know why but started at the front and working backwards, not my normal practice.I love the dry stone wall, it’s very well done.
