Metamorphosis Commission

 
These paintings are acrylic on canvas, 3'x4'.

Some of the iterations that the above painting (white and pink background) went through are below. It started out blue. I wasn't feeling the blue for this one. Which is why I went ahead and made a second blue painting for the Studio space. Notice how the background keeps getting lighter and lighter. 

A complete color change always bothers me a bit, as it feels like a waste of materials. But I know that the under painting colors always show through in ways that are obvious and not so obvious. It would be a different painting without the blue under painting.
