Imperfect woman meets a snake

Sometimes in the gel medium transfer process you lose parts of the image. In this case I lost a major part of her face. Instead of seeing this as a disaster, it became and opportunity and this piece evolved. Some see snakes as menacing, but here she is looking the snake in the eye.

As an aside I adore what happened with the piece of embossed paper in the top right hand corner.

I limited my pallette here - violet red, cerulean blue, hansa yellow and then just to darken the edges I added some pthalo green to the violet red for a lovely dark.
