This painting's texture was too rough (partly because it was on canvas instead of the smooth panel I normally used) and hard to see. But I kept it around for years because of its strange look, like a close-up of dragon skin.
I would pull it out every so often and admire its unapologetic ugliness. "I am what I am" it would say, "now let me return to my cave, and leave me alone."
The painting was 60 by 48 inches.
