I’ve never had a painting that I worked on so long to bring together. Usually I simply take one of my photos, perhaps crop it, and go from there; it’s that simple.
Putting so much thought and effort into this painting, while a lot of work and quite time consuming, was great fun. I’ll have to come up with more ideas along this line in the future.
After much thought and work, here is the completed piece! This will never be a winner of any kind but I like it!

I'm glad I was along to watch this one evolve. Its been amazing to watch. I love it. I love each and every detail... from the women to the writing to the colors. I disagree with you ... it is a winner!
Beautiful finish!! You could go even darker on the gold "framing" around them, but I know this is done - so maybe another - you did all the planning work so you must have a series in mind, yes? :)
What do you mean this will never be a winner of any kind? Allow me to disagree with you, Deb! I love it and would be so proud if it were one of my paintings.
I love it Deb!! And I think it's great that this piece made you think about your process and expand ideas. That can be a really good thing:) I think this piece is gorgeous and dynamic!
I'm really intrigued by your painting and the thought you put into it.
Yikes Ladies - I'm starting to think I need to issue membership cards in my fan club to each of you! Thanks for your support. Maybe I'll rethink it and enter a show with it; even though I don't think it's all that good, it was an interesting process which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Wow...this is a riot of colors!Different from your usual style, but beautiful,indeed.
Thanks Arti, yes, definitely a little departure for me!
OK Deb...Here I be! Trying to win this give-away. I truly did love this painting, from the carefully thought-out composition to the wonderful colors and oriental feel of everything!
Very stylish Deb, and definitely looks authentic to me. I love all that asian stuff! Is that some kind of gold around the outside? Do the characters mean anything special? Go huge next time, bet the farm!
Hey Nick! I'm into the Asian theme also - not sure if you influenced me! That's some gold gesso on the outside and the characters actually do mean something to me! Thanks for taking a look and commenting.
