painting collaboration :: part 1

So I meant to document the various stages of this project, but got carried away before I could bust the camera out. I'm about 3/4 of the way through, and have mixed feelings about the result. Originally our intentions were to take Taryn's photos as a starting point and have it show through in my final painting...unfortunately our first attempt pretty much obliterated any sign that there actually was any photography underneath all of this. Oh well live and learn! I'm excited for collab #2, and I think for my first stab back at painting (in like a year) I'm relatively pleased. Not my usual palette, either, which is kinda exciting....
Hope to finish up in the next few days...post then!
