Sustained Investigation #3

Queen of the Night

Acrylic paint

This is my third sustained investigation piece. It is still the same painting that I have been working on for the past two projects. I thought that I would have completed it by this project but the flower is taking longer than I anticipated. I am almost certain that I can get it done by the next one but that may change. I would say that I have put somewhere between 30 and 40 hours into this painting already and I expect it to take me another 10.

I am using acrylic paint only on this project. I don't usually mix mediums so this painting is only going to have paint.

My next step is to complete the flower. The difficult part of the flower is done so it should go by pretty fast. I don't know how much I'm liking the flower. I have mixed feelings about it. I'll make the final judgment about my painting once I have completed it.
