ON THE STUDIO WALL--Working on the Painting in Progress

Each week I am explaining my process in painting the piece on my studio wall. I am posting an image that will show the progression from week to week, as the work unfolds. It is beginning to enter the final stage. I am continuing to fill up the form with swathes of color; balancing bright against neutrals-sharp line against soft; working on evoking a mood of joyousness, light and buoyancy. I am crafting an expression that reflects an inner presence of alignment with self…art here is an extension of an emotion of serenity. I’ve added more grays, blacks, sharper lines and more warm green. Her face is not yet complete. Final touches are still needed to make the piece complete.
