I’ve been working on Esmerelda for several days and had hoped to finish her today. It didn’t happen because of other commitments. Regardless, I thought I’d share the progression of this painting.
She started out as a creative block/black but she eventually started to emerge. She also named herself (Esmerelda) as is often the case for most of my creative work.
