Yoga pose IV - step II ... doubled crossed and in trouble!

With this second quick pass with the palette knife (30 minutes), I tried to commit to the color scheme I had in mind... but only got half way there...

I was still trying to figure out some movement in the background... as I noticed the pattern of the central reinforcement bar from the stretcher (adding another cross pattern to the composition)... the result of over-enthusiasm with the palette knife!

A couple of hours of work in the afternoon led to this rather "rough on the edges" version...

I'd like to do something different than a blue black background (my specialty)... perhaps it's too much to ask for now! This one will make me sweat... I can feel it!
