Thank you all!
I finally got a photo showing my color. I used a touch of cobalt teal in the glowing light to cool it just enough to let you know it is blue, and oddly, it seemed to give an illusion of actually being LIGHTER than it was.
I love mutinies! There is a painting of Les in his old thread where we grabbed a red uplight and when the participants actually stick it out, the finish is so valuable, because it makes me kick conventions out the window and actually paint what I see. For me that is how my autopilot works best. When I put a picture together by rules, it gets stiff. When I detatch and use my eye and hand, I force myself to actually paint.
The girls in the studio that stopped, kept saying "I just couldn't get the nose right." I bit my lip, but I wanted to tell her, "try not to think of it as a nose. Think of it as an abstract arrangement of color and light and you will forget that it ever was a nose."
