Panda Bear cont'd

I am giving another try at Panda Bear.

 

Again I go to the web for images that I empathize with.  Despite the fact that I am not creating the images, I still want to choose something that speaks to me.  I also want to dispense with too much backgroup chatter.  I don't even want the tree limbs in the last painting.

 

I hope most people can relate to the bond between mother and child.

 I did this one without uing any titanium white and I used contour lines instead to define the shape.

I had wanted to paint in just a few scanty thin branches to occupy the upper right hand corner but I botched my strokes.  To hide my mistakes, I solicited the help of leaves.
