A Girl Can Change Her Mind, Can't She?

I said im my last post that I was not going to post any of the pieces I did in the Robert Burridge Workshop I recently attended.  Well, I changed my mind because, frankly, I was very happy with the result.  So was one of my students who ended up buying it.  She was very happy with the piece, and so am I, so here it is. 

Limited Palette Study

I have been doing so much sketching with my Doc Martin Hydrus watercolors, I thought I might have forgotten how to paint.  I found a charming reference photo in Wet Canvas Reference Library, and did this while watching Upstairs Downstairs last night.

Girl in Gold Skirt on Purple Chair 6 x 8 on  gessoed "bad" painting

The colors didn't scan too well, and Photoshop didn't warm it up as it is in real life, but I still sort of like it.  In "real life," the skirt shimmers.  She reminds me of my daughter-in-law, which makes it even better for me.
