This was a commissioned portrait. I was unsure about the image to begin with ,but as I worked I discovered how to incorporate the knife and the brush in a way I hadn't before. It is so much fun. Thanks Gini , you've helped my art evolution process.
Amber, thanks for your words… in the midst of my artistic struggle to integrate different styles and techniques. The work above is an inspiration because every square inch of painted canvas is undeniably the result of a creative impulse… the kinetic energy is palpable everywhere… a goal to attain! It makes me think of some outside force using the artist as a conduit, the greatness of one’s art being in proportion with one’s capacity to connect to that force… on a good day!
Amber, I think you're trying to tell me that I should never go beyond 3 steps in my painting process:) easy for you to say... as a "one step" painter :) P.S. by the way for the "outside force" (my previous comment) you can substitute Odin, Thor, the Buddha... or even the aforementioned JC (just kidding)!

Amber, beautifully painterly and full of color nuances. Another one hovering somewhere at the apex of your art... again!
