painting – planning – thought =

Well, I don’t know what. This girl, I guess. Random background painted with my fingers. Rough figure drawn. Face painted with oil paintsticks and rubbed into existence. All very messy and scribbley and directionless, actually.

But I kinda like her.

Below is the image as it scanned the first time around. It went into the scanner straight, scanned like this with no help from me, and in some ways, I actually like it more. Happy accidents:

She’s weird. I have no context for her. Can’t tell you where she came from or what she means.

She just is. Whatever she is, she is.

  1. The colors are beautiful, Tracey. The rings around her eyes could be makeup, or evidence of deep worries. I like the chaotic background. She’s got a lot going on, doesn’t she? A lot going on in her head.

  2. I found your site while doing a search for Bouguereau painting techniques. I love the way he paints! Enjoying your blog also, thanks!
