Altered Background by Leada Wood

Things are really changing now!  I didn't like the competiton of the background with my focal point and I decided to put a nice neutral grey on it. I selected a grey that was opaque so that your eye could rest on the girl. When the grey was dry I painted the textured strip.  I decided to put some of my collage papers that I make onto her skirt and do a little stamping. Now I have started laying in colors on my lovely lady, still keeping transparent so the writing on the prepared background is peeking through. She is staring to come to life, don't you think?

yes, I think ... Leada, I sent a note to you that I found returned in my spam file. You must think I am a slug for not responding to you!

Love your work. Am "playing" with papers, too, but the process is slow.

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
