This painting is 40"x24"...Errr...16"x24"
Blocking in color.
Defining the space.
A lush garden.
This is where things start to go awry.
Changing tree.
Adding a large sculpture.
Rejecting sculpture.
Adding a pool with suspended element.
Changing the sky and defining the pool.
Removing the suspended element and adding another character in the pool.
I wanted the piece to reference the overpopulation in China and the "disposal" of girls.
But instead, I got total chaos.
Removing the girl.
Replacing her with a "meditation rock."
or perhaps a lotus flower.
Completely overwhelmed with the changes, I decided to cut the canvas and finished it in a vertical format.
Detail of the finished focal point.
Detail of the succulent plants.
Detail of the tree.
The finished piece.
