Ya know, I was worried I'd forgotten how to paint. I havne' painted anything in weeks. But, I kind of like it. It has a nice "painterly" quality, due to the background. I hope the lady likes it.
I really had a hard time with this one. I had to do it twice. I don't hardly dare touch it now, for fear of ruinining it.
I wanted to mention that in actuality, the ink if browner in color, and the paper less blue. Something about the light and the photo gives it a bluish tint that is not there. It's more brown overall, like an old tintype photograph.
