I've been doing lots of work on the last piece for the Mother's Fear Triptych. With this one I wanted (as you may recall) the background to include images of Helena & Liam's drawings with the "harsh reality" text somehow attacking the figures of the mother & child. Josh suggested letting the text take on some form & I decided to go with a claw like appearance. Above are some close ups of the background before it is attached. I start by collecting text or images then I lay them out as I've done above to plan where I want them. Next, I attach them with gel medium & then enlarge the image on the background with gesso. This is followed by painting with the oils.
