Día de los Muertos at Uforge

I recently discovered the Uforge Gallery in Jamaica Plain, which presents gallery shows on themes that change from month to month. November's "assignment" as they call them is Day of the Dead. I was super excited to make a Day of the Dead painting and here is the completed piece:

This was one of the most challenging compositions I have ever attempted. About halfway through I was like, "what have I done?! Why didn't I just do like two people and one light source?!" But it was all worth it in the end. It came a long way from its humble beginnings:

I hope Uforge does not mind wet paint, as I just finished it this morning. Also, my camera is getting old and the quality of the photos it takes is worse every time... I know what I'm saving up for next.

If you are local to Boston and would like to come to the opening night of the show, it is Thursday, November 1st from 6 to 8 pm at 767 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain!
