"Portrait of Katrina"
(reworked)
acrylic, mixed media, collage
on 16 x 20 wrapped canvas
w/black sides
This is the finished version of the painting I was reworking (see post below). I've added collage elements and texture, as well as almost completely reworking the the figure itself. Varnish will bring out the colors and textures more, but I like this more subtle look, too.

I'm really loving the versatility of acrylic more and more, the more I work with it.
