I thought I would share a bit of my painting process. I never take enough photos, because I get involved in painting and all of a sudden a dramatic change occurs. Here is a look at a recent painting. It is on an 11x30" wooden panel.
  | 
| Ink drawing on textured surface | 
  | 
| Adding some definition - black and white | 
  | 
Neutralized the background - the flower was distracting! Added more detail to the figure.  The flower and edge of the collage suggest "ears." | 
  | 
| Ears appear and color is started. | 
  | 
This is where I got lost in the painting and stopped takeing pics.  Added more color and ink drips to the background.
  | 
  | 
| Finished | 
  | 
| Close up of the face.  | 
Wishing you inspiration!
Blessings,
