Breath in.
From the day I started to paint this canvas, to the day I put the last stroke, I went through so many moods. From the greyish days of boredom, to the glorious moments of love that I didn't expect. Her wind has blown so strongly, that crazy storm that blew everything up, that at last calmed down.
Breath out.

Cinnamon Breath, oil paint on canvas, about 5 month work.

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-04-29
The scent of her Cinnamon Breath wafts over his shoulder as they make their way down into the ruins. The lush foliage giving way to crumbled stones and cryptic remains of stone guardians. What will the find in this imaginative work of art by Michael Zancan? That is left up to your imagination. ( Featured by lolly )

You make the females so beautiful.
I don't know why it's called Cinnamon Breath,
I'll assume she has the cinnamon breath.

No ... :) You have to repaint the background, with opaque paint, but by mixing with your color a tiny amount of white to make them look paler. If the cloth has multiple layers piled up, then your color must have more white. No transparent trick here, only using the right color to paint what you see.
