Work in progress . . .



As if I don't have enough on my plate, here is a new painting/collage I'm working on for an upcoming show. The model is a vintage boudoir doll. This painting needs to get done by the end of September. The painting is 60" tall, that's 5 feet ... what was I thinking???

I thought I'd add her to my blog and ask all of you for your opinion, advice, thoughts....


I drew her in green oil paint on a green background. Then I pasted torn pieces of pattern tissue to form her dress.

8/19/07: I've added some dark areas to the figure, painted the background red and toned down her dress with a red glaze. (photo coming soon)

I'll be adding more pictures as I progress.

Now I've gone and committed myself to finishing this....
