Here is my latest painting. "Dance School" is a mix media painting of pastel over watercolor. I love the story , who is the woman in the window? It's a little haunting and mysterious. I think the dark ceiling adds to the drama.

The color palette is limited to shades of orange to browns with touches of mauve and blue. There is a strong architectural element to the building and the window.

What I'm trying to decide is if I will use this as the sketch for an oil. For sure if I do this in oil I won't be changing anything but the lettering on the sign. I would be very careful with the perspective on the lettering.

I am using paint to tell a story. It's up to you to fill in the characters and story line.
