The Messenger : Progress Images : Updated 01:10:10

A new piece for the Dirty Show in Detroit. Opens Feb. 12, 2010. This painting measures 12"x44." Wanted to play with a female form and have her be both primitive and futuristic.



The sketch transfered to canvas.



A quick layer of color.



Still tweaking the anatomy.



Fixed the booty.



Started patterning the torso with stars.



Added variegated gold leaf to the background.



Detail of the gold leaf. I will paint back into it to incorporate it into the piece better.



Added glitter to the background and patterned the rock surface.



Added more darks and details in the skirt.



Detail of skirt in progress.
