Call me was a fun painting with lots of challenging opportunities.  I had an original vision that I wanted to capture in paint. This thought was an ethereal image where foreground and background merged as one pattern with just enough detail in the facial area to separate the form from the rest of the painting. I loved the soft cotton like forms that the flowers formed in the tree to the unique color and light pattern from being outside with nature.

Painting with a painting knife the painting developed slowly from a thumbnail color studies to this. Working from a photo the color studies helped me to limit my color palette and direct the focus of the painting.
