Throw Away Paintings - A Different Vision

While painting I reach a point where I take a photograph of the work; this sometimes helps me see the painting in a different perspective.  Recently my grandson was looking through my photos and commented on one I was about to 'throw away'. 
When I reviewed the actual canvas and the photo I was convinced it needed trashing.  However, when my grandson looked at the photo he saw a different perspective and vision.

There at the bottom of the photo was the edge of my easel; the tray covered with a cling wrap which I use to collect any stray or misguided paint.  He suggested I incorporate this area into the bottom of the painting.  And it worked, it gave the painting depth which was so lacking in my vision. 
Some times all we need is a different perspective!
My thanks to Ryan without whom this painting would not exist!.

A Painting Potholes filled with Lilacs

Lilacs are in full bloom here in Southern Ontario, cultivars and those a century old or more gracing farmlands and abandoned properties. The cultivars are beautiful and come in many hues; but I love the old fashioned….mauve and purple lilac!

Such abundance of blossoms; wild copses of wonder; they fill the air with scent and colour.

I painted the attached of freshly picked lilacs, in about an hour for my sister. It looked sort of lacking towards the bottom and I added a small pic my sister has of her grandchildren; knowing she would be so delighted.  What a mistake and now she won’t let me 'muck about with it'

Anyone, please help! I know there is something askew with the tiny picture I’ve included…its all off from a perspective point of view; and probably too large.  I feel need to resolve this.....other than taking the picture out completely; don't know what to do!    Would appreciate your comments on how to remedy this bad painting.
