I've been wanting to do a painting of a woman who hears the whispers of the people behind her (and the whispers are about
her). This is a little sketch for something larger. At 12 x 9", there's not enough room to include the gossips in back of the model, so I was just forming an idea for a bigger work. Maybe. Sometimes when I do a small, sort of preparatory thing, that's the end of it - but the ideas of gossip and rumor are of interest to me - not in a good way, but because of the insecurity and worry they cause.
I began this months ago and pretty much forgot about it. It was just a mass of lines in greens and red and black and, being a line person, part of me wishes I had kept it, but it was my shorthand and meant nothing to anyone but me. So I got busy and made it meatier. On Colourfix Spectrum paper. Thanks for looking!

The intent shows very clearly what she is doing. getting from line to shapes is handled very well.
Thank you so much, Anthony; I really appreciate your comment.
