I'm drawn to painting these oddly grungy girl portraits. It seems to be a rather persistent phase.
On the backside I am working and experimenting with techniques that I hope to teach in my new class but then I have to remember to not get too carried away and forget to take notes which make the projects replicable. It's not always easy, as there's not always a lot of order or reason as to how I concoct these images. Perhaps videos of what do they call it? ... streams of consciousness? might suffice?

I know what you mean. My mom used to make dishes for family meals or parties and she wouldn't write things down so there's no recipes!
I like the grungy girls you're doing!

I really like the grungy girl, so please- take notes, so I can learn how to make one!

I love your grunge girls, they have such evocative imagery, a suggestion of a mood without be obvious.
And I'm confident you will be able to find a way to walk your students through.

Grungy yet beautiful - great effects! I know what you mean about getting carried away and not noting what you've done.

lovely work as always!
and yes i would like to have a recorder in my head, remembering every thought that transpires while i work, sometimes they come in and then i'm off on a tangent and then it is gone. (i can't write them down fast enough!)
