Beginnings

Had this image in my mind today...just an idea...

Its rough but here it is anyway since i haven't posted anything for a long time..hope this will start things up and stir the art energy of personal work again..

Want to explore different methods of image making.

Maybe use this to paint something bigger?









Acrylic, Gesso, and Digital

Good night, hope tomorrow is a beautiful day.
