Third stage

The darks are laid in and edges given attention. Enjoyed the freedom of color expression in this painting; The paints were not inhibited by me, nor me by them! I was able to yield to the paint's nature in this work.... sometimes that happens easily and other times not!

First stage

This began by masking all the areas you see white. Washes of yellow and rose were applied with no concern to placement - wet on wet.

RECEPTION
