I went to the WIP section. I remember I liked it there. It is STILL a stunning painting. Your paint handling is enviable.
Although, sometimes serendipity takes us to new and uncharted waters.
One day years ago, my punky little model showed up with green bangs. I was in the early throes of my ersatz Degas days and I was really put out. I had envisioned a luminous beauty and wound up having to paint a contemporary little snot. I decided I LIKED the green hair, and ended up putting various colored wigs on my models. My paintings no longer look like pretentious Degas wannbees, but more like my own and are more fun to do.
