Relationship Triptych

This is the latest version of Disconnect with the male figure added in... I'm trying to decide if the light is too strong on the right side of the man. This image is really special to me now because somehow I talked Bill into modeling for me. It is the first time in years that he agreed to let me use him in an image. It has so much more meaning for me when he is connected to it. I like the color work... the muted colors add to the somber quality and really help with the meaning. I have to spray it now & I am so scared because the Intensity piece changed dramatically when I sprayed it.

Here is the rough layout of the males back. I started with images that I took, drew them, and then enlarged them to the size I needed. For the earlier version of this image I drew lots of variations from life first but decided to use this method in the end.

Detail of the back.
