After a number of experiments with Chinese paper, I decided to revert back to my usual "canvas over canvas" collage technique dragging the colors that I saw in Cuba...
I ended up with a breakthrough painting that points to possibilities in the area of semi-abstracted figuration. After close to 2 years of live model drawing, I suddenly feel the urge to go free style with no reference material...
Note: this painting was a composite of 3 unrelated images...

"Tourbillon" - taking another slant on the wild side!
I finished the previous painting with my usual tri-dimensional deconstruction technique...
The previous version was fine, however, something in me wants to pursue a more visceral approach. The balancing act between the two approaches is exciting to me!
P.S. Although I've tried different deconstruction approaches over the last few years, I seem to be coming back to this one... so why fight it!

Emerging woman II... looking for a stream of smaller works.
Piggybacking on the previous painting, I laid the foundation for a stream of smaller works on partially immersed faces, in preparation for an exhibition in early November of this year...
My usual tri-dimensional collage technique will be used... to throw a monkey wrench into the picture!
