In this view the design has been colored and blended, and a layer of glaze has been added to give warmth and a unifying tone to the whole image.
And then because I am an absolute failure at working pale, I sponged some deeper richer colors around the edges to add depth.
I still want to add some flat back pearls as "blossoms" along the vine, but with the addition of lettering she is essentially finished. (The lettering is the only addition - she looks lighter because I photographed her in different light. And oh yeah... I fixed her crooked upper lip. I think...)
So of course, rather than moving on the the next UFO (UnFinished Object) I had to start another canvas. I HAD to -- this is an image and an invocation that I have been wrestling with for some time and it is more than time to let it out.
I am all for World Peace, but these days I will settle for a truer faith and a little inner peace.

Gorgeous, Judi! Love that dark sponging around the edge. Maybe I will try that instead of the spray paint- I didn't master that-LOL!
The new canvas looks very interesting. Peace is something I wish for everyone.
Wow Judi you did it again. The darker shade on the edges does give it more depth. Well done with this painting and I can see the next one is going to be another stunner.
