Updated background

So i added some charcoal and some marker on top of the wood to add some more contrast. I have been having a lot of fun with this piece, i have a table in my downstairs where i have layed this over it for the last couple weeks like a table top, and i keep paint, charcoal and pastel around it and so when i pass by it i just add a little something. It feels like a can't mess it up which is nice and not stressful at all. I'm thinking of adding this symbol on top of it, or maybe even a couple of the symbols scattered around that are from an african religion.

Ideas

The last month or so i haven't been very inspired and thrilled to work on my concentration but in the last couple of days i thought of some new ideas that i am getting excited about.
1. i have carved a stamp of Mary and am planning on using it
2. i have been working on a background (its on my blogspot-on wood-pink,purple and green) which is really big and i think i am going to layer onto it an african religious symbol that i really like
3. i am going to do a jesus being crucified with a twist

Another background

I'm still deciding what to add on top of this, but before i do that i know i am going to layer more paint on top and rub some charcoal into it. I'm also still unsure if this will be part of my concentration or not.
