Kambala Painting Production Phase 5

This phase of the painting shows the development of the art work between December 2012 and early May 2013. During this time Abbey has been working down the front of the lead buffalo to establish the thickest areas of paint that will be applied to the whole canvas, and that will contribute to the establishment of her signature 3D projection illusion.
