Labor - Finished Painting
So I think I'm done with this. I started it about a week and a half ago, worked on it about five hours, was unhappy with it and let it sit until today. I'm still not all that pleased with it but I'm done. I'm probably going to do another one or two with this sketch, at least one on canvas instead of board like this one.
I'm having a little trouble getting subjects for the human trafficking pieces I want to do. It's understandable what with the nature of the crimes and allowing your face to be pictured in association with that. I have one lead that looks really good but others have fallen through. Pray God's miraculous hand in this project that my work in particular will be what He wants and that our show in general will bring consciousness of this subject to our area.
lovelly work, lynn!!!!

This somehow seems colder, less personal to me. I think I like the idea of warmer, softer color with this because it carried the feeling/connotation of a womb, you know what I mean? I'd like to see it washed in a translucent orange. Something that makes it feel safer and more comfortable, but still reveals the labor of it.
