Description My last image from Uganda.

Shot with a Holga on Tri-x.
Oilgraph made of multiple elements on canvas

EDIT

Restored version
Remounted (with fear and trembling) from the original canvas to wooden panel with a final varnish (as of 4AM this morning)

And color corrected from the horrible green magenta version that had been here for years from the days when I didn't have a chip chart. This is what the piece looks like in real life and is now about to go back to her new mom who purchased her back in 2004.

Again, this is a traditional photograph (montaged) and oil paint. There is no digital work.

She is still one of my favorite kids....

Love it to death. It reminds me a lot of the Japanese horror film Ringu for its darkness and decay, but also its strange beauty.
