Here is my entry in this week's challenge for http://artonthedarkside.blogspot.com/
I should have explained how this was done. It started as a collage with a photo of a mask with the paper eyes glued down behind it. Then I painted over it, added crystal clear glaze to the eyes - really makes them look lifelike - and finally I went digital. I used gold and a copper patio metallic acrylic paints to get that color. I was trying to make it look like a restored antiquity.

Wow, this is an incredible painting! The copper colors are great. This is a fantastic design.
Janene,
Well I"m finally back to comment on what I came over here for...just spent the last hour or so enjoying myself immensely over on your picture trail site...and I only really checked out the Digital one -my own Art interest in exploring now , and that incredible altered alblum of The Pleasure of Ruins!
This mask reminds me of a streamlined Ursula ANdress as she appeared in the movie of the same title from RL Haggard's book...especially with the head-dress and halo of fire/lava surrounding/"rejuvenating" her!I"m probably off the mark, but if you know that scene, it sure makes her more "DarK"-even though SHOWN in light; appearances being deceptive, eh? Great take!
Is this a painting? or digital? or an actual mask? It has a haunting, goddess feel to it. It is beautiful!
