Arianna by firelight finished

Here is the finished painting of Arianna by the fire. It took me alittle bit with kids and pets coming and going this week.
I fiddled with her far eye and added more reds and purple shadows. It was a challange to get it to look like nighttime and I am happy with the outcome. I will try another night painting soon.

Arianna by the fire about 1 hour in. Finding it interesting to do skin tones on dark paper!
