Though it may not be obvious what this painting
is all
about, or why it is this size and shape,
it should be clear that the trick at this point will be pulling all the different elements together
to make it into a painting. The "stuff" is all in place and the fun begins!


Studio congestion and my pet freeway
interchange


Dressed for the occasion

The second digital joining begins to give a closer idea of what this
painting
might look like
in the end. There is no way of telling at this point, however. Many
rivers
to swim and bridges
to cross. Like any good journey, there are unforeseen obstacles to
overcome
and unimaginable
discoveries to be made. Many forks in the road. The neat thing about
painting
is that I get to
make the rivers I swim, build the bridges I cross, and, if the going
gets
tough, build a whole
new road to travel!
