A large 24x36” unfinished painting I love and dislike parts of and don’t know how to fix. considering painting completely over it. Going to play with it digitally and see if I can find a solution. Inspired by #Uzbekistan and #Ikat / Abr fabric and Buddhist #Benzaiten / Hindu #Saraswati and the Silk Road that these traditions, beliefs & cultural exchanges travelled by.
I like the idea of it, but the composition isn’t working for me.
