I started this painting yesterday. I didn’t think I’d get this far, but I got really into it. I’m very much enjoying the patterning, and I made it a rule to avoid all opaqueness, which is very different from my usual approach to painting. I only broke the rule at the end because it was absolutely necessary to do so. The painting still needs a bit of tweaking so please, as always, reserve your I-would-have-done-this’s for when it’s done.
