Shot off of NC HWY 64 on my way back from Charlotte.

Wilgefortis V. c. 2012. Charcoal, cardboard and enamel on paper, 14 x 17”.

Wilgefortis IV. c. 2012. Charcoal and enamel on paper, 14 x 17”.

The beginnings of Wilgefortis III. 

I’ve begun to incorporate a more collage path with this painting. As of now It is charcoal with photographs, cardboard and paper on mounted paper on canvas.

Wilgefortis Stage 12 

While I think I know the direction I will head with this painting, something I wanted to add first was a fiddler in the bottom right corner, a common theme in Saint Wilgefortis’ story.

Untitled (Female Form). c. 2012. Charcoal on paper, 14 x 17”.

I finally started drawing in my larger sketchbook. I wonder why I didn’t sooner. The larger surface area has been freeing.

Wilgefortis Stage 9

I finally have returned to Wilgefortis. Sitting back and observing has truly helped. I’ve defined the head region a bit more and completed the background in the upper half of the painting.

Below is a detailed image of the background on Wilgefortis. I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out.

Wilgefortis II. c. 2012. Enamel, acrylic, charcoal, graphite and paper on canvas, 22 x 28”.

Stage 9, and possibly the final stage, of painting number two in the Wilgefortis series. I’ll reflect on this work for a few days before I’m willing to call it complete.

Stage 8 of painting number two in the Wilgefortis series.

Stage 6 of the second painting in the Wilgefortis series. Can’t wait for paint to dry so I can loosen the confines of the face.
