The first step is finding a compelling diagonal shape, then surrounding it with layers of painted shapes.
Next, I protect some of the white before using the mouth atomizer to add a hint of color to some of the white.
Then I bring out the sculpture with paint.
After the painting is done, I choose collage pieces to enhance the colors, shapes and spaces. The collage is done with pieces of my failed paintings and rice paper I've painted.
The last step is putting pure black in some areas to add drama. Then I look for places to add some line work. Here is the final product.

Wow. That forgotten stone has found new life. It speaks again in volumes. It seems it spoke to you and found its way to the top of the pile in January no less. Toni
Good Morning, Baby Sister. Wow. Apropos of our past conversations about art and social action, I think you've created something -- intended or not -- that will provoke all kinds of internal debate in the viewer. A little reminiscent of Munch's "The Scream"? A title change is in order, though, don't you think? I like your phrase "weight of the centuries." Maybe you could reconfigure it into a title that would suggest just that concept. Bravo.
