I Used to be a Cartographer

6" x 7" watercolor on paper map on wood

This was fun. I mounted an old topographic map section onto a wooden panel with matt medium. By squinting and maybe even crossing my eyes, I thought I saw a woman's face between the lines (kind of like imagining shapes in clouds!) and used paint to accentuate the image. 

I have a few more map panels that I can't see any images in...yet. But I'm working on it.


No map, but here's another portrait from this week
from the crappy paper sketchbook
