In a recent post I mentioned some frustration with my own choice of coloring. Here is a new painting of my wife, after the drawing stage I flipped through my piles of reference and found this classical painting done by John Alexander White as my reference for the colors. I went a lot warmer but you get the idea, and it was a good way to use a color palette that turned out a lot more interesting then what I would have chosen otherwise.I am also satisfied with the limited finish work that left the crosshatch work on certain areas like the jacket.

Yeh the cross hatching works really well. I always liked stuff that looked sketchy/textured. Not that this looks sketchy. It looks awesome!
