I just don't get it ...

I've been in a drought for weeks.  Just can't get into a groove.  As I'm alone for Thanksgiving this year, I decided to force myself to do something ... anything ... at the easel.  I finished three paintings and absolutely hated two of them.  One was passable, I suppose.  The piece below was just a quick ... and I mean VERY quick sketch I threw together on a piece of scrap paper. Its not great, but its a heck a lot better than the others I did. I just don't get it ...
