Working on a American black walnut wood, the dark brown flattered the palette of the acrylic paints. Using a digital cut file I burned out the details of the picture and worked in layers of burn and acrylic paint to create depth. The composition stays true to the Lois Mailou Jones original painting which I fell in love with. I wanted the central figure to feel like she was swaying and for the defibrillator and pads to seem as if they were as intrinsic as the background to emphasis that it reviving women should be the norm, not the exception.
