Actually what happened is, after the first session, I had already pulled the tekpatl, or knife shape out. Nora suggested I add myself inside it. I liked the idea, and wanted to paint a certain stare of mine, so in between sessions, I played with the idea and wound up doing the elizaBLUE painting in the post before this. I brought the elizaBLUE painting with me to the second session, and sort of repainted it into this piece. Kinda cool how it worked out, re-painting it was very simple, and I got two paintings out of it!eliza ollinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709640366135326753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33125788442992995.post-29003849583976375132008-09-15T23:23:00.000-04:002008-09-15T23:23:00.000-04:00Love that texture.
