Ok, well the bottom of the bikini turned out to be light blue, and the bubbles I had a great time with...now all that remains is that pesky background...I am leaning towards an unnatural color (i.e. not blue), perhaps dark red or espresso brown, a warm dark color that would make the figure pop out and bring out the colors in the skin...
In the meantime I have sprayed fixative on the image, in quantities that I am quite sure will put me on the greenpeace hit list for enlarging the hole in the ozone layer...sorry.
later...went to town this afternoon with Jackson, the promoter of the dark background and together we picked a really deep dark red...whoa it sure is an intense choice. will have to re-evaluate in the light of day...
have started another Veronica and I am crazy about her. So far have only the vaguest of outlines for another large pastel and I have prepared a primed canvas in surgical blue/green for a Veronica painting which is a face chock o' block full of bubbles!!! The new pastel, on the other hand, picks up on the theme of a favorite other work LEAN, about an outstretched arm that leans upon a wall...stay tuned...
