| I mostly like this page, but the arm of the woman behind the large hand is bothering me. |
For all the wonky drawings that I accept as fine, this one was not fine. I spent 3 weeks thinking about what to do (and working on other pages). I could just glue more eco dyed paper over the part I didn't like, but it would stand out as being glued on.

| Drawing over the arm with white ink made a mess, but it did lighten those lines. |
 |
| I made a stencil and printed a thin coat of pale titan buff on the areas that were bothering me. |
 |
| Then I glued coffee splattered abaca paper on the offending area. |
 |
| A new arm is collaged on. Maybe it's too short? I think his arm and shirt need a pattern. |

Sometimes this looks okay, sometimes I am not happy with it. I'll put it away for a while.

Here I have extended the aura around his neck. I also added shrubs and another arm for the woman. I feel the sleeve needs something. Check out this recent post Jane Davies recently did about a change she made in one of her paintings. She has a very good attitude toward making changes, and she is skilled at it. I agonized over every step here, feeling bad that I had made this mistake. I need to take Jane's approach. And if I can make mistakes and correct them I will feel more okay with experimenting.
