Twenty Years On ( with apologies to Alan Bennett )

I have just hauled this painting ( pictured below) out of the loft, and taken it down to the studio for restoration. It looks dreadful.. The glowing colours  are no more, and it is grimy, dusty, and flat.Worse, 20 years on,  it looks crude, clumsy, and amateurish. What I saw in it all those years ago God alone knows. However, the plan is to re-stretch it and have another go. I can't wait. It should be fun, which is the spirit in which it was painted in the first place.
