Painterly Process
​
After the above sketch was made, the painting was created with acrylic paint on canvas. The second painting was motivated by the first painting. By enlarging the little girl, the red wagon, and the budding leaf (from the top of the dirt pile), a composition was create for the second painting also done in acrylic on canvas. Both paintings were scanned into the computer for further manipulation.
