This painting was a real struggle as you will see the many faces it took on. Sometimes it is an inner struggle and sometimes I just keep searching for what the medium can do and say.
 |
| The painting started vertical, with several figures emerging. |
 |
| Flipped it horizontal and a dark singular figure emerges. |
 |
| Looking back, I like this, but remember at the time I felt I needed to "lighten up." |
 |
| Changes were because I wanted to add gesture for excitement. |
 |
| Added some gold leaf in angel and sky. |
 |
| It got exciting, but looked too much like "Super-man Angel." |
 |
| Quieted it down, got rid of gesture, still very dark, now I'm in painters hell. |
 |
| Breaking through. |
 |
| ???????? |
By this time the textures are thick, color is rich, and I added some metal powders to the paint. Wanted to go strong female.
