Dragonfly

Dragonfly
I did finally finish my first painting from class with Dana Ellyn.  I'm not entirely pleased with some aspects -- it's one funky looking dragonfly -- but I like something about the worried man.

New project is a combination of some Max Beckmann paintings, with lots of deep colors and sharp lines.  So far, mine is hideous.  But useful learning, to dig into the process more, and a relief to get back into Oz where all the color lives.

    1. OK, nope, that hadn't occurred to me at all. Wow. Maybe that's why I was drawn to the original photo. http://www.artfulmistakes.com/2012/03/in-process.html
