Femme de feu XII final... Leaving this one unfinished!

The second pass provided an opportunity to test my recently developed techniques with color in mind as opposed to my usual monochromatic chiaroscuro approach...

I don't feel the need to pursue any further, since I said what I had to say...

In this experiment lies the promise of  a more artistic approach, but to achieve this new apex, I will need to surrender totally to my heart and disengage my brain as much as possible from the creative process!

Note to self: "I want to meet the challenge of contemporary artists, particularly the ones associated with raw art and a colorist's approach!"
