The source for this painting was a photo my fourteen-year-old grandson took with his Ipad of one of his classmates. He happily shared it with me. I like the mood he captured and am pleased with his sense of composition.It was a challenge for me to work with such subdued colors, but they were necessary to evoke the mood of the piece. I gave in to my need for color by varying some of the hues, but keeping the values.
