new paintings of the mediterranean and the caribbean by Lalita Cofer In the Studio, what's next
Paintings in the works...from the Studio
        Lalita Lyon Cofer


This is how the painting starts with a prepared canvas that has the metal leafing and stain applied over it...
Sometimes the painting on rice paper comes first...sometimes it is the prepared canvas that initiates the image to come... often the painting on rice paper is ripped apart in sections before it is applied on the canvas.
Here a new painting is coming along...with the torn apart bits of painting on rice paper and the stained tissue lying loosely on the surface of a white canvas
