Zack/Venus

I've been working on my painting of Zack which will hang with the Venus painting I did a few years back. Venus has sold, but the owner said I can borrow it for my upcoming show. Zack is the one on the left....

That crazy cat

Fun in my sketchbook! This began with layers of paint. I then transfered in a copy of my Detroit drawing (see my earlier blog) and a bird. Then I built up layers of paint and colored pencil.

Metamorph

I had an epiphany earlier this week and added a layer of rice paper over the background. I love how it creates a veil between the figure and her future and conversely it is a veil between Marissa as she is today and her past. Aaahhhhh, motherhood!

Metamorphing...again

By day, I've been working on this painting and have made quite a few changes. At night I change it again in Photoshop. Sometimes I think I like the digital versions better.....

Another version

Another painting, tweaked in Photoshop.
