What a lovely finished piece. I really like the effect of the sky and background. Maybe it was in the air, but I finished a painting the other day and it was much darker than I usually do. I really wanted the affect of light and you have done that so amazingly here. Bravo!
Thank you Donna! I've been studying chiaroscuro painters as I am fascinated by the drama they can create with their works. I'll drop by your blog and check out what you've been doing then. =)
Well, your study has paid off, really wonderful.
There is more to explore yet. ;-)
