red scarf

This is another failed background experiment. I painted the figure over the top, fast and loose with white paint. It forces me out of the photo-surreal precision that I lean toward. It's like sculpting in a way, building the image layer by layer.

Great picture, I think the background works with the girl, and I like the fastness/or getting away from the precision of realism, so the only thing I notice is the scarf is so detailed compared to the rest - it distracts some because it is so well done!
