Painted twice?

Yup! This is the sixty-third offering in this series of breast-to-canvas artworks. The design was painted directly onto my breasts, which were then pressed onto the canvas. This process was repeated several times, using different color combinations, until I was pleased with the final composition. Once it was dry, I painted over it again and sped up the drying time using a fan. I wasn't sure what to expect when I attempted this. All I knew was that it would crackle, but I had no real control over it aside from knowing to put contrasting colors over each other for the nicest effect. Please note that while the crackling makes the painting slightly more fragile, I compensate by varnishing 2 extra times for added protection. This series is intended to be intimate, whimsical, and fun (and an interesting conversation piece).

This original painting consists of an array of colors (including metallics) that would go well in almost any setting. Here are some close-up views of this artwork:
