revisiting discarded paintings

Going through a pile of paintings I wasn't happy with or that are just unfinished.

I always liked this photo I took, but my first attempt to paint it was weak. 

I added more darks to some wings and also added a few streaks of pure cobalt.

It's an improvement. Sorry didn't think to photograph it first!

This is an abandoned painting that I can maybe salvage.

Planning to extend the dark rock on the right.

Also need to clarify that all the negative space is water, that is, that it is one plane-- which it definitely doesn't look like now!
