I wasn't satisfied with the original painting on the encaustic board, so I tried washing off the pigment. Unfortunately, that only worked very poorly. I then primed the board again with Qor Aquarelle Ground. That worked even worse, and it resulted in a lot of vertical lines. However, as I thought about this motif, I realized the lines would fit the subject well.

Happy people built their inner world,
Unhappy people blame their outer world.
