Second pass - working on depth & personality

Acrylic on old roofing slate.

Working on slate is a wonderful challenge. The slate soaks

up the paint like a sponge. It takes many layers to achieve the density your looking for. Sometimes you think you got the color just right and then your paint starts to fade away. Once you get a few layers of paint down it starts behaving like a regular painting.

I enjoy trying to make the image grow out of the slate.
