Reworking “Utterance”

As I mentioned in my last post about “Trance Man”, I “finished” this painting last year, I was really happy with it. Recently, I had pulled this painting as well as “Trance Man” out for me to stare at and really look at what I was doing. Is it really finished? What do I feel in looking at it? How can I refine my vision? etc. Lots of questions.

I added some blue over the spirit circles to help push those back more. I added more dimension and depth to the radiating lines and worked a little more on the face. I’m very happy with this now.

Thank again Lia, I just entered this piece and Trance Man for a show. I’m really happy with both.
