from yesterday (July 22)
You can see the earlier versions of this painting from last month (June 22) at (Chels Leaning (Firenze) - in progress and pulling together)
This painting began as a photograph that I had taken on a trip to Florence last year. I manipulated it by turning it into a negative, then enlarged it and printed it. After a bunch of modifications, I made a stencil and transferred it to a mid-sized canvas.
