Trying to decide (A Smile in the Making)

Trying to decide

Had trouble posting on my other blog this morning. So going to try copy and pasting.

Top photo is where the painting is currently. I applied some red glazes to the top part of the structure and used a plastic bag held in an accordian fold. I kind of helped it along by applying the glaze in some strokes beforehand.

Bottom photo I decided to play around in photoshop some. I struggle with wanting to make things look like something and was getting away from my intention to just "suggest". I felt like the bottom right needed something more than just some splattering of reds. Right now it kind of looks like a winky face with a smirk. Probably will try taping off a shape of some sort.

Thanks Ellen. I put this aside for awhile. Decided to make some of the changes.
