Dogwood Blossoms and Hands in Anguish

Other works in progress

The piece above was finally completed, I believe in late Fall of 2014. Oops, forgot to update. Note how many color changes were made.

Starting to add collage elements, pencil contour drawings of hands

Other works in progress: two city scenes and an angel

Refining hands on the right side, changing cloak color again(!)

Thorns are emerging...I have a plan for these...working on Christ's hands and the color of the cloak

This is the point in every painting where I'm enjoying the shimmer of paint strokes

Beginning to work on Christ's hands

Still working on the drapery, and have a long way to go

Changing and refining the color of the drapery of Christ's cloak

More background colors, but still a LONG way to go

Adding bits of softness in the golden cloak and the woman's robe

Cloak was going to be burgundy, now it will be made of 'light'

Warming the background color, considering the cloak itself

Working on the face

A bit more underpainting

Woman who touched His Cloak--REALLY rough
