A Happy Continuation

My person looks like a person! It doesn't look like the actual person in the picture, but it looks like a person! Let's hear it for values and the shapes of the values. That's where it's at. Okay, color-mixing is also pretty high up there and that could use some work. The person in my painting looks Caucasian, while the actual person was African-American, so my colors were off.

I am completely at a loss about approaching the background, so I might leave this one "as is" for now and think about it.
