"Lavender Quilt"


Just finished this puppy... It's a "redo"... it's a painting I did last year, but it just "wasn't right" yet.... I sanded it way down (scary but fun!) then painted a toned wash over the whole image so you just saw a "ghost" image, kind of "orangey".  Then, basically started over!!

 Changed the  colors, elongated the figure, and highlighted some of the sun burnished areas, faded out others,... Ta da! Now she's happy!!  (yes it is Natalia, my lovely and amazing daughter)
