And Now It Looks Like This

Sometimes paintings start out one way, and end up another.  This is a case in point.  I started this painting April 30th, and posted it here as a study.  A while later I played with it some more, and changed the background to a deep purple.  Today, I pulled it out once more, and officially finished it.  I toned down the purple background a bit, and I think it works.

This is Brigitte, 7 x 5 oil on Raymar cotton canvas panel, available for $150 (unframed) to anyone who might be interested.  Just drop me an email!
