Self Portrait Saturday: Flowers

I’m working on my senior thesis to graduate with my BFA next term. That’s 16 paintings in a series. My theme is abstracted landscapes. I’m looking at doing one that involves using a picture of me covered in a flowery cloth. I started experimenting a couple days ago. Since my cameraman (husband) wasn’t available to do the full body shots that I have in mind, I decided to just see how it would work just on my face. They turned out pretty interesting.

Then I switched to two layers.

And then three, but that didn’t really work as well. But it’s interesting and may work better with more generalized shapes.
