So excited to be getting back to this Birth of Venus painting … I can remember doing two others, but there have probably been more. Been painting for 20 years now… so every week or so there’s evidence of a painting I totally forgot doing. Anyway … this one has been gestating for months … and here’s the new thing I want to try. The background water and gold areas are going to be decorated with botanicals … inspired by the photo (artist unknown) and Gustav Klimt styles … and rather than do the composition on canvass (or the usual sketchpad), I’m going to push my photoshop limits and do the entire design digitally. Guess we’ll discover if I’ve got the horses for that … sure see lots-o-layers in my future!!! YIKES … ok… here we go!
