INTROSPECTIVE II
Painting from the Unconscious
A second work exploring the relationship between the unconscious mind and the process of creating. The development of this piece included a dialogue between myself and the canvas as imagery was created based on the mind creating shapes, line, and objects seen within an underlying texture.

Introspective II close-ups
Texture, impasto, and brushstroke became important features in the painting's identity.
Faces appear out of abstract brush strokes, smaller images are within the larger.
Developing the piece—
Dozens of washes created the base layer which became the foundation for seeing images within the piece.
The piece in its halfway point.
Imagery of a bird and person.
