After a friend’s critique and offer of her Japanese fan, I decided to add “Mt. Fuji” to the bottom fan along with and some striations which her fan had.
Once the painting was mostly complete, I misketed the symbols and flower design in the border, then taped off the border and used gold gesso – this was my homage to Judy Morris.

You are continually surprising me with this painting - and that's a good thing!!!
Good Morning, Deb.
I must say this has been a most interesting WIP. One of the qualities I quite like with this painting is the composition, especially the frame-within-frame with its mottled appearance. I am sorry to see that disappear under gold gesso. But I look forward to seeing the look of the completed work.
Une magnifique composition, des couleurs sublimes... Il est toujours très plaisant de voir l'évolution d'une oeuvre.
Gros bisous
Rhonda I'm glad that's good! Kathryn, I'm glad you are enjoying the WIP. As I said, the frame was modeled after a Judy Morris painting. Disappearing??? Stay tuned!!
Martine, I think I can read this one without the translator - "a magnificent (good) composition, the colors are subline (great). It is always nice to see the evolution of my work!" Merci!
This step by step is like a great mystery novel ... I can't wait until the end. It is really coming together. I took a Judy Morris workshop ... she's a very giving teacher, and I love some of her oriental themed work. This is going to be a winner.
Wonderful so far! I guess there's nothing you can't paint!
Nancy, most of my paintings are mysteries - like, it's always a mystery when they turn out - "how did I do that"!!!!
Oh Kimberly, I've got you fooled!
