Playing the Fool-Process

I decided to make this drawing I had into a painting. I started by spray painting this gradient onto the panel.

Then I drew a sketch that was to scale on brown paper, and cut it out. I used this cut out for placement on the panel, and to trace the silhouette.

I fill the silhouette with black gesso, and begin to color in the characters.

The girl character didn't look like the right girl character so I redid her,
and started on the background.

Polished it up, and called it done.
"Playing the Fool"

"Playing the Fool"
Based on the age old story of reuniting with an X-girlfriend. The lightning represents the turmoil in the past, and being under the bridge represents the feeling of hiding from all the people you told this would never happen. The title "Playing the Fool" comes from the question of what each persons motives are. It depends what angle you see it from, who the fool is.
I still can't figure it out.
