I knew I wouldn’t keep the painting so I turned it upside down and drew the figure into and over the flower pattern. I found it exciting to work this way, kind of like using found objects or collage. The figure is hidden yet revealed in relation to the background.<br /><br />Thanks for asking your question. I now better understand the potential of this idea!Marie Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855963111920948376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598298646792225241.post-36952124808873021162015-02-22T13:15:40.617-05:002015-02-22T13:15:40.617-05:00Your paintings are amazing.

This one is particularly beautiful to me, perhaps because of the garden setting, the texture, the richness- it is hard to say.<br />How was it an experiment for you?<br />Take care,<br />HeatherHeathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598298646792225241.post-45166077419390392242015-02-21T13:30:13.558-05:002015-02-21T13:30:13.558-05:00Wow!
