In my last group of paintings I worked on a series which began with one painting called Culmination. In the series, I used a similar method of preparing the backgrounds, then drawing circles and filling them in, and finally drawing a leaf pattern and filling it in. Each layer is somewhat transluscent, allowing the previous layers to show through:
Canvas #42 40" x 40"
Canvas #41 44" x 44"
Patchouli 30" x 30"
Earth Songs 40" x 40"
I had to go back several times and change the shade of color I used in each of these, until I felt the blend was right.
