Ixchel



I actually started this piece months ago. I put masking fluid down over the jaguar, then proceeded to attempt to paint the sky. About 15 attempts and 15 layers of acrylic later, I gave up and set the piece aside.
The other day, I found the discarded piece and I figured I'd take one last stab at the sky. Perhaps time made me a bit less picky, but I figured it the newest coat looked alright. So, I took off the masking fluid that lay underneath all that paint. I had completely forgotten the subject of the painting, so imagine my surprise when there was a boob.
