Carol, 

This painting has a long history -  first I collaged an old abstract
watercolor painting with tissue paper and mat acrylic medium.  I then
drybrushed a thin layer of Gesso over the painting with a bristle brush.
Then I drew the composition with pencil and finished with traditional
watercolor techniques.  The inspiration for the subject was a face I saw in
the bathroom floor.  Everytime I went into to bathroom I would see the image
- I figured the only way to exorcise that image from my head was to paint it
- so that is the whole story - and I'm sticking to it:-)
