Oil paint & newsprint

When I was adding the oil colour to the metal, I was interested in the paint left behind on the paper underneath. I thought this could also suggest movement. These are a few ideas I played around with, but it's something which could be developed.

Whilst experimenting with the metal for the small Blessings project, I started to think that the pieces would work well in an animation. It would mean re cutting each movement, which would mean a lot of work, but I think it would work well.
