This painting was up in the livingroom for quite a few years, unfinished. My middle daughter took it down and put up a newer painting I recently finished and told me not to put it back up until it was finished. I like to look at some paintings before I go over the edge and take it in another direction. Having said that there should be a time limit as to how long it can stay up and this one was very close to being gessoed over. Instead because of my resolution to finish up some old paintings, this one got another chance. Some times it is almost impossible to stop myself from just starting over.
Now I am dealing with the face that I am trying to get the right patina of aged copper without making her look too green. Of course the solution should be to just run out at buy some copper paint but no I am trying to build up the layering of different hues with using a iridescent green and gold which is really hard to see in the photo.
so far it is off the chopping block
