Second in Missed Beat Series

I am not repeating all the information from the last post but here is the second in the Missed Beat series.

Process Pictures--some show the brown paper I used as a mask.















Finished and hanging. 



Two detail shots.  Oh, and the circles were looking a bit muddy after several layers of deconstructed screen printing so I squirted some Decolourant on them, dried, set, washed, then overprinted the entire circle with a masked screen and an intense blue thickened dye.


Just a note of self-congratulations.  When this piece was hanging in the studio, an artist/art instructor from UMA walked by.  He stopped, studied it for a while, then asked if I wanted to show in his gallery.  One guess my answer!

    Even more fabulous in person. The deep multiple layers (your forte) in the blue circles just pull you in.
