Finished up this piece yesterday morning which was cutting it close as it was due by 5pm yesterday evening. I need to confess that this piece gave me a really hard time. I changed so much from start to finish that I found myself a little down at all the wrong turns taken before completion.
But, I am happy with the finished product. I wanted to convey a young woman confused at how she ended up where she is. It is a theme that will be picked up when the details in the lip area are viewed. I didn't want the story to be obvious...which may or may not work in my favor. We'll see what the juror thinks.
Here are some in process, and the final. Thank you as always for plugging along!
Layering paint to achieve more depth
Do you see the similarity only exists in the lip on both subjects?
