Zen lotus

I have been experimenting with a new palm stencil from stencilgirl.com. I actually cut off the edges of the stencil frame so I could use it more freely.

One of the pages didn't work out as is, but covered up with titanium buff, a white gesso lotus and magenta drips transformed the page into this lovely zen image. Love when those "mistakes" happen and give us an opportunity to create something better, don't you?
