I fail at title picking LOL

This really just started as a sketch in the dentists office while waiting for the kids to get cleanings. However it turned out so well I decided to use it as an excuse to to play with limited color pallets again. For this one I used only cadmium yellow medium hue, alizerin crimson, burnt umber, and daves gray.

I also successfully painted very light hair (yay!) which i usually have trouble with.

Inspired by Art Nouveau, I decided to not get quite so crazy with lines this time and left them subtle. i like it.

also experimented with a new way of painting stones, ie, bricks in particular.

all in all i would say it is a total success. I had no expectation for it to turn out as well as it did!
