New painting

I decided to make the background become part of the foreground.   Wiping away paint to suggest a form. Leaving areas empty so that the 'eye has work to do'. (I love that phrase) The woman's eyes on different plains.  I'm reminded of Picasso' s Demoiselles D'Avignon with its sharp African mask like faces.  The face as mask.  Beauty is a mask.
