A woman in her nth incarnation

Picture
Make no mistake, this woman is undergoing a major transformative process, and apparently it is not over yet as she materializes in and out of various skins, this being merely her latest molting.  Currently she may appear to be lacking the top layer of her dermis and is perhaps looking a bit raw, but I  have been working all day to get the underlaying structure of her new surface up to par, preparing for another layer, another skin.

I have also removed what was an almost comic book depiction of the surrounding water, and in doing so  have  obliterated her original background and completely redefined it. 

I must wait a couple of days now before I go further, as tempting as it is to just keep going.  The changes need time to sediment, and I must empty out my eyes and learn to see the image as an existing entity, not an accumulated history of 10,000 brushstrokes.

    Give me a minute please to boil myself down to a single descriptive sentence...I am still working on this!
