For now I am calling this painting finished. It
has felt like a process of birthing. It is, in the end,
a dark painting. It does not surprise me as I
emerge from the darkness of the past 6 months
that my first real effort would turn out so dark.
My friend says it is not dark but rich and I would
describe this time I have been through as rich also.

Dark and rich is a good description of a transition time...the light over the head and beak speaks of such dawning...!

Katherine, "rich" is good. I like this stage the best.

Thank you Mary Ann for the observation about the light. I saw the emerging of light but the placement is even better. It reminds me of an incident years ago when I showed a curator my friends work for possible display. I thought the painting lovely but the curator said "what is she up to? She has the light coming out the ass?" LOL!!
