Macha series - experiment 3 final... Claudel on copper: I felt like a welder, not a painter!

The last yard with this painting was interesting as I kept adding copper for corrections and to achieve likeness...


To retain as much iridescence as possible, I ended up mixing my darks with stainless steel using it as a neutral color.

Some weird reflections here, but certainly intriguing to say the least.

Note: I spent more time with the mirror for this one... and ended up having a hard time reconciling with the unreflected reality, notwithstanding the one gazillion versions depending on the viewing angle!

Note to self: "I feel propelled towards the unknown... and kind of attracted by it... so be it!
