I am so happy to have finished this painting started last night although i started wanting to do something along the lines of Picasso's "child with dove"...I strayed big time! first the dress... when i went to put on the white paint it just streaked, but then i discovered i liked it! so i left it then the background....hmmm don't know what happened there but i was a little frustrated and in the end wound up looking more like Monet than Picasso? oh well, I still like how it turned out.
