Yes, i was going to go with something more abstract originally for the hair. When it was just the orange and red it had that kind of abstract feel and i didn't care for it. After blending the orange into the red and vice versa i think it kept some abstract qualities but added a bit of realism i felt was missing to coordinate with the figures.

Layers like this generally do much better on a thicker heavier paper with more texture to have the pencil grab on to. So, i am surprised this paper has held up as well as it has so far... all things considered. This paper seems to have a limit where the blending plateaus and then it will just remove the color and possibly damage the paper if i take it too far. I have reached that limit in many areas and it's frustrating since i wanted to go just a bit further in some areas.

I was able to get a high quality short video or two of me and Luci yesterday. I will add that to the final post when the time comes.

I didn't pay as much attention in my art history classes as i should have! hahaha I didn't even know who Kandisky was or is... so thanks for sharing that information... even if it is only half remembered. That's a whole half better than my knowledge of it! hahaha

I appreciate you taking the time to read and reflect on all that i've written in these two posts. It means a lot to me. And since you suggested... perhaps we may see a little bit of blue or green or maybe a bit of both. I will have to see how i can fit it in! =) Take Care my Friend!
