Moonlighting - step II... Slipping back to my usual ways!

This second pass parted somewhat from my original intent...

...  which was to minimally intervene with color over a black and grey underpainting. Part of the reason is that I didn't use the light grey raw cotton/linen for this one (I ran out!)... so the underpainting with charcoal was far from perfect. As a result, I'm back to regular painting with a monochromatic color scheme. We'll see how this one evolves...

Note: I'm very tempted to consider using chimney soot from an old duct as a painting medium for my future black and grey underpaintings as opposed to charcoal!
