I lied. NOW it's finished.
Okay, okay. I didn't mean to lie, but I sat with "Pas de Ducks" for a couple of days and something about it just didn't feel right. Maybe it's because it was the most subtle piece I'd ever done and although I admire subtlety in the work of others, I can't seem to get comfortable with it in my own work. The main part of the reflection needed to be another shade darker.
I didn't do any more carving, this transparent dark green went right over the top of the previous color. I'm still going to call it 22 colors. Pretend the next-to-last color never happened. It can be our little secret.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous print Sherrie. The patterns on the water give it more abstract feel than a lot of your others and I love the transition from the dark to light (or vise versa).
