EMERGING - FINAL
I applied some salt to the background in the final wash of dark green.
After paint was applied to all areas, the masking tape and miskit were removed.
I loosened just a bit of the paint in a few areas to create shadow areas, and the painting was complete.
This worked out better than I had anticipated!

Wonderful, Deb...how unique.
I would say that you got splendid results. The colors have retained all their freshness...the tape certainly did not seem to remove any of the paint. You have a beautiful, interesting painting with lots of variety in those difficult greens. Really well done, Deb!
Great result! The power of new life is so strong here.
This worked beautifully. Its subtle and different and lovely.
For something that was so planned, this technique gives a surprisingly fresh and spontaneous result in the look :)
Carol - this technique will always surprise you!
Thanks Christiane - it was fun!
Irina and Jeanette - thanks for your comments. It's not your "usual" sunflower painting.
Rhonda - planned?? Me???
I keep thinking that if I watch this bud long enough it will open before my eyes! It is that good. I love hearing how you approached this.
Wow, thanks Susan for your kind remark.
