Continuation of the pair that wasn't there.

I've turned to pomegranetes. It is the perfect vehicle for this luscious red, and they are actually quite healthy for you. So, in the spirit of this beautiful fruit, I am drawing them, painting them, drinking them and eating them. My studio looks like a blood bath.
Not to say that I haven't been hammering out some progress on the two canvases. With the pomegranetes came a new background. A swirling of gusty winds meets dirt storms meets marble. I've gotten quite fond of it, and it is now my new thing. My other new thing is this appearance of a hide stretched out touching all sides of the canvas without any sort of main variable. It is how I've been feeling - skinned and stretched. Left out to dry. Such emotions can be so much more pretty when painted instead of felt. Pelt. How ironic.
Anyway, step two for the two. Here are where they are so far, starting with him and then her.

These are still coming out pretty large. I'm going to get this yet! I will try to make them smaller from now on.

Well, I can see I need a lot more practice on the computer. But there you have a transformation. She is still in the works.
