starting again

Today I hosed off my painting from the first day of the Handell workshop last month. The charcoal lines and a little pastel color is the "ghost" that remains. Also, here is the reference photo (see the edge of my easel far right?). I'm going to try the scene again. Realistic or abstracted landscape? Not sure yet. I washed the work away rather than finishing the painting because it occurred to me that I would always have to keep this painting separate in my inventory as a piece that was done under workshop guidance and therefore not eligible for competitions.
