The Narrative Unfolds

Painting a Narrative for me is painting a story in pictures.  It unfolds and twists an turns as I paint.

Below is the process.
After the new pile of rocks was blocked in,next came...
what is there?
people.
women in dresses.
long dresses.
lots of fabric.
pastel colored.
reaching? waving?
reaching.
for what? something from other side of diptych;
something being dropped, thrown?
tossed.

Second half of diptych blocked in before additions above:

As these parts were being painted in, elements from the other side emerged. Those will be discussed next post.
