I have taken one half of a painting to work with as I found it interesting in isolation. Digital manipulation is an interesting tool for an artist. I find that I can try 4 or 5 different colour combinations and compositions, in the time it would take to make one traditional study with pencil or paint. Technology is amazing!
I'm working on the peacock paintings at the moment and some relief prints. I am slowly filling in the shapes and colors of the paintings, starting from the top and working down with each color. I'm grouping them with my 8 color reduction cut relief print. Also a feather linocut and painting, both in their early stages. The linocuts below are variation experiments based on the imagery above. It still feels like I am a long way to completion, but hopefully they will pull together fast at the detail stage.
This is such a cool picture! Absolutely beautiful!!
