I worked on this piece last week. This one was a bit of a challenge for me because this is a huge departure from the typical bright color palette that I use. I knew I wanted to paint a figure with "white" skin, just to see where else I would go with it as far as color. It ended up going in a dark or intense direction, I think it was the expression that led me there. There's still a detail or two that I need to add to finish it up and I've already moved on to the next piece, but I thought this piece was worth sharing because I think it's so unusual for me. Maybe this is a side that I might need to explore further at some point?
