I hit a standstill with my work. I let myself get bogged down by the details and wasn't sure where I was going. After some much-needed advice and prodding I finally decided to start going big and thick. This one is the parasite woman. She will be surrounded by botflies and pulling larvae out of her skin. I choose poinsettias for flowers because both poinsettias and botflies are natives of Mexico.
This one is based on poisonous plants. She is holding a bouquet of deadly nightshade and begonias. The stems and leaves are wrapping around her hand and arm. She will have a rash and will be bleeding from the eyes as if she's been poisoned.
This one is based off of deep-sea creatures. She's sort of a mermaid. I've started giving her that underwater/flowy look.
I've decided to start working on some smaller panels to help get my energy back up. These will be close up studies of various plant and animal textures. I have a whole bunch of gourds and leaves that will be good for this.
