Marilyn was a commissioned piece of work. I really enjoyed doing another one in coloured dots to make a black and white image, as I had with Senna. This one allowed me to improve the technique, and get the blending of tone better than I had done in my first attempt. I was far more confident, including brighter colours, sure that they would still give a black and white "look" at the end. I wanted to keep this piece when it was completed but unfortunately a deposit had already been paid. It was the first piece that I have made where I didn't think I could do any better.
