….. an experiment with textures and colours.

It has become pretty standard that there will be at least three versions of each painting. I can’t think of a piece on Sundrip that hasn’t been revised in some manner. I see the image and think, if I added colour here, changed the texture there and so on I could get an entirely different effect.
The original version is called Sky Blue Dreamer and she’s part of the Faceless Beauty Collection and is categorized under “faces”. The original is as high textured as Version 2 (Ella ha llegado) and Version 3 (She Has Arrived) where I changed colours, added wings, changed the breadth of her shoulders and the shape of her face.
V2 and V3 have experimental filters. V2 is a combo of mural, fresco and the paint dry brush filter. V3 is chalk opaque over paint dry brush. From V2 to V3 you’ll see different colours in the wings, a difference in skin tone, a golden ray necklace and a hint of green in the background. V3 also has a very light halo behind her head.
One thing leads to another and versions happen. I’ve come to enjoy this evolution.

Red flowers - Red apron.
I took inspiration from two different paintings to come up with Red Flowers - Red Apron. The background is from In The Field . I took a few blades of grass from The Path of Least Resistance. Add a blue-gray rock, a female figure and flowers then changed colours and you have Red Flowers - Red Apron.
I’ve been trying out new filters so even though it was inspired by the above paintings it looks different. I used milder colours than usual and the mood is a little different than many of my paintings. I think I might be ending the phase where the viewer can see the colour three blocks before they actually get up on the painting 
I went through a flower phase, a faces phase and a high colour phase. I’m not quite sure what to call this next chapter.

The painting called “She has arrived” is one where I’m trying out new filter combinations on my art program. After the painting was completed I added three filters, mural, fresco then paint dry brush. I then did the face the patterned paper filter because the other three were too much. She looked like she had leprosy so I needed to change that. (Right click the images to make them larger. When they open in a different window click the image again to make it even larger. All but the first and very last will get even larger when clicked again.)
“She has arrived” shows an angel like figure in front of a strong textured and high colour background.

Don’t be surprised if more filter combos show up.
