Chrome Portrait

I had much more difficulty on this stencil than I had with my last. There was a reaction between the chrome and white spray paint. I ended up layering 4-5 different colors under what is now the white and chrome looking areas. After much frustration and paint fumes I think I got it right. Patience is a wonderful thing though it would have been much more entertaining to hurl the canvas off my balcony like a frisbee. maybe next time... always next time...

Here it is in context with the previous stencil.

Layered stencil! not titled yet. hold your horses.

Here is my newest stencil. I painted it with 4 different layers of shades (using 3 different stencils) on a 22 inch by 28 inch canvas. My studio area is my balcony that sits over the pool my apartment building shares with each other. Today was a slightly sunny day and some neighbors decided that it was an excuse to sunbathe and went out to sit by the pool while I was painting above them. Soon after they sat down I heard grumbling and they left. Im not sure if they realized that its still too cold to sunbathe or if stray drops of spray paint were dissolving in their sunscreen.

Either way I got my work done. Here it is!
