100 Canvases: Canvas #32
June 11, 2015
This canvas is a redo. Here's the original:
Besides the fact that "submerge" is spelled incorrectly, it just didn't feel like me anymore. It was hanging in my bathroom and I would see it in the mirror behind me every day. One day I just started adding paint to it. And then it just kind of evolved over several months. Every now and then I would catch it behind me and go running for some paint. This may be too much information, but a few times I found myself just out of the shower, standing in my bathroom naked, with a bottle of paint in my hand, smearing a particular color in a particular place because I just couldn't wait.
Here's the (I think) finished canvas:
I actually used my new Many Faces stencil...
....to give me a base for the face. You can definitely see it in the lips!
I *think* she's done for now. I've moved her into the living room, which seems like a safer place. Of course, I fear for the new painting that's now hanging in my bathroom.... ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
