These are the stages I went through to finish this piece. You get an idea of how the seeds were planted early on for figure and ground and story. Painting for me is a bit like carving. I start with a rough block. I also want to be entertained while I paint so I don't want to know what is going to happen. If I were to plan and draw it all out before hand the painting might be better in a traditional sense but I would not enjoy the process as much. What does this painting mean? I have not titled the painting yet so I am not really sure. I am still learning from it. I find it fascinating to focus on one area of the painting and watch the changes.
