One Panel, Progress From May 2010 through Feb 2011

The following images show the life of one 2x2 panel which was begun on May 19th 2010. There are several images missing from around late October when my hard drive crapped out on me and I had failed to back up a few weeks worth of in progress shots. 




This panel felt good at this stage and I considered it done for several months until it lost something for me and I felt like I had to go back into it.


This is a VERY bad image, but is the only one that documents some of the patterning/ sanding and varnishing that took place before I began painting on top of everything this past week.






In an effort to keep the documentation of the history alive the patch of pattern in the lower left hand corner has been purposefully avoided while reworking the image on top. Too forced?




For some reason I have been focused solely on this image for the past 3 days.  Not sure why I feel to urge to resolve this panel or to fit it into something, but that is what I have wanted to work on in the studio this past week. The addition of the top panel was an effort to add some surface to which I could apply paint that would more accurately describe the crop on the source photo.
