To the Opera with Mother

This is a repaint of an older acrylic piece with attempted pouring after I had seen Vanessa Lemen's exquisite portraits grown from abstract marks (back when I used to prime packing paper with wallpaint. It's soaky like mud, but I have come to look at this habit like super warriors training with weights on their arms and legs so they can barely move at first, but when they take those off and move unrestricted - look out! ;)). I couldn't pull it off then, however, I always liked the two fairies. In my head there had been a background fit for an opera but poor planning had made a quick end of that impression. So for the repaint, or overpaint, I gave up on the white trim, and the cape of the larger fairy that had been a splotchy mess got a decent acrylic pouring that is much closer to what I wanted. Also turned out much thicker than intended, causing some crackling, but I can live with that.
