This is as much would fit on the scanner, perhaps the center. What i like about it so far is scraping off the red to reveal the textured surface below. (See here for the white & black layer.) I also like the almost opalescent effect of the green through the red.

Christine likes the red very much, which reminds me too much of ground beef. Her reaction triggers an almost perverse sense of challenge: can one paint expressionistically of intense emotion and use blues and greens?

The red: naphthol light red with a bit of q. magenta and some carbon black, mixed both with matte and gel medium
