Birdwoman

Our studios at the Arsenal Center are like fish bowls--glass walls face out into the hall.  This evening mine looked magical from the outside:I started this piece in earnest today.  I was thinking of leaving it as a drawing because I liked it so much already.  But then my curiosity got the better of me–I couldn't resist seeing where I could take the image with paint.  Before I left the studio I went over the drawing with pen, and covered the paper with a drippy purply-blue washes.  I was sort of spent when I left the studio, and feeling too lazy to take a picture of the painted surface.
