Slow and Steady...

Slowly I have been moving forward with this piece. It is the first painting of a five image series. The content of this series has been inspired from vintage photography and power symbols. I have had a lot of fun trying to reproduce the sepia tones and hand painted colors found in vintage postcards and antique photographs. 

I am over half way done with this painting. I am looking forward to deepening the dark tones and lightening up the highlights. This is when the magic truly begins to happen!
Eventually I will add hints of color to excite life in the
subjects.

Every painting is a journey!
