Ulysses Butterfly

oil on panel, 6" x 6"

This is me taking a baby step toward incorporating abstraction into my realist paintings, an avenue I'm just beginning to pursue.  I've been taking a workshop with the great Lindsey Kustusch, hoping to absorb some of her fine techniques and adapt them to my own style.  I realize this will take a while and requires a lot of patience.  That's okay, whatever it takes, however long it takes.  Painting is a process, and working outside my comfort zone is good for me, even if it feels shaky, uncertain, and frustrating in the moment.  I'm not displeased with this one.
