Portrait 2:Completion

I had far too much fun with this piece while in mid process. Affected by the Trinidadian music in my drive; I had to switch to my everyday musical style to complete it.
My satisfaction with the technical work as it pertained to the human anatomy slowed my completion also. Every time I mixed blue paint it seemed to be different and I had to re touch the entire piece, but was encouraged with how the piece looked. 

The lighting effect was very clear in my head but I struggled to let it make sense.

Though I was very happy with the outcome and what people's impressions were of the piece in critique, part of me will always hope that I did more in detail. 

One good thing that came out of my enjoyment was a stretch in the background in learning a bit of what I see as impressionism, stumbling on a style that worked with longer brush strokes and heavier thicker paint.

Unfortunately I doubt it will be a style I will use in my next piece, but will further in future pieces.
