I have been busy. 
  Spring cleaning and painting over paintings that were just not "right."   

This is a painting of mine that did not make me happy and I have painted over it and left some of the original under there to peek through.  
 This is not finished yet.

This is what it looked like before. 
 It is one that I made using my styrofoam meat tray - "woodblock" prints.  

I bought this at a yard sale a couple of years ago and it actually looks a little better in this photo than in person.  
  But...
Time for it to reincarnate.

Hideous leafy texture.  
But nice texture, if it is NOT a tree anymore....
Scraped the biggest lumps off and  kept the rest.

And off I go!

Yep.
Same painting.
Getting it put up on the wall of my gallery!
Now titled:
"I know it's only Rock and Roll, but I like it!"

"The Grave That They Dug Him Had Flowers."

My painting purchased from Wendy Mcwilliams...
:)

It started with a painting a friend gave me to paint over.
She bought it at at thrift store and did not get around to using it herself.

I have been in a yellow mood lately - so thought I would go with that.

I painted thickly in places and put some texture in there and then splattered some blue/green on top.

See...

 Added some pink and orange over that...

Added black lines.

White stripes.  Check!

Decided I wanted the roundy part at the bottom - so flipped the canvas around and then blocked in a face.

Eyes - mouth - yep.  That's gonna be a face.

Face outline and jaw...

Darker nose and then added hair hair and more hair...

Pink cheeks.

Put some white on the eyes and each eye ended up looking a 
different direction.  
 Ooopsy.

Wiped the paint off.
Several times...

Got the eyes figured out - added more hair and added lines around the pink cheeks.
Done.
I painted the wooden frame black and today will re-assemble it all back together and it will be for sale!
