I revisited this Golgotha Variation, and tried to tweak and improve it, a bit. I wasn’t happy with the ‘hands’, nor the ‘crown of thorns’, as they were before. I think I have improved the piece, somewhat. Whether it’s worth pursuing any further? I don’t as yet know…
Looking at the newest state, I think I’ll redraw it, and develop it a bit. The blue ‘window’ is also like a picture frame: I might ornament it a bit, with a scrolly pattern. And I think some kind of sun-type circular motif would be a good stand in for a head…
I’ve begun work on a revised version of this particular Golgotha design. So far it’s a lot duller, and more muted, colour wise.
I then went back to the ‘first state’ image, and added a few little white lines…
After working on these Golgotha variations, I felt I had the time and inclination to do another piece.
This one is derived from some of Picasso’s 1932 ‘cream puff’ female nudes. That description – cream puff – is my own term for them. I think it’s quite apt/accurate?
