What on earth IS this image???   I don't know yet.  I find this blog helps me to articulate what I am doing, cause sometimes I just have no idea...so here it is. 

Even though I don't want to label it yet, I can already see that this image belongs to the Map of the Interior group, and that just occurred to me right now, by the way, as I saw it appear on the screen after the upload. 

Just wanted to point out that nobody likes this painting...and yet I can't stop thinking about it.  I do love the sort of cheesy autobiographical aspect of course, especially the bend in her neck, but more so it seems to be an image on the verge of illustrating something....yesterday I repainted the right hand background, thinking I was going to layer a dark color beneath a flaming all over cadmium red, but as it turned out something stopped me, and I ended up relegating the female figure to her dark corner....time to decant.

I think Amedeo would tell you- that neck's the thing. I like it that no one likes it
