Sponsor a Painting

This photograph is a little dark but it shows progress. I started to build up the paint layers around the bottom right and the area below the angel. When I paint, I let go and let my Muse direct the effort, so I don’t always know what will happen. In this case, I wasn’t quite happy with the little dark figure that appeared below the angel’s legs — but I know to sit with the discomfort and see if it tells me what to do next. I may end up toning down that little figure, but for now it’s just floating there, waiting to mean something.

And by the way, I painted the first names in — I carved it into the paint layer. You can’t see it yet because I still have to fill the grooves with color so the letters stand out. Next time.
