Tricia,

I like the background color in this one too. Possibly a a deep reddish would have worked for this also? The contrast in color works, though, and I think it's good that it's dark.

I am still learning about backgrounds too. I don't always know what works, but I know what I like!

There seems to be a great difference in style between this one and the Mother and Child, or maybe it's the difference in mood that is giving me that impression. How long ago did you do this one?

I did this one in March this year. It was from a B&W photo, so I didn't try working in warms & cools.

I don't really have a style yet. I just try different things, and they either work, or they don't.

I am still fumbling in the dark. Feedback helps me to understand what works and what doesn't. I find the negative feedback the most helpful.
