I was messing with surrendering to a higher power and letting the image reveal itself as the process evolved, It became quite clear that the shadowy outline was a male and there were wings..
The criss cross shards came the following day after a dream where I clearly saw the figure in my painting moving through what appeared to be debris of some kind of material
As with dreams the meaning was elusive but the image was embedded in my mind so much so that I lunged at the canvas with brushes in slashes of red and blue as I saw in the dream shimmering almost glass or metal like.
