I love the monochromatic look here. Has a kind of vintage look to it as a result. Nice! That seems like it would be a good exercise for studying values, too.

JANE MINTER ha detto...

sue thankyou glad you like it .... painted this after having made detailed pencil study for a correspondance course.
