Well I finished it!  In my blog a couple of weeks ago I posted the start of this painting.  It was inspired by a large hot pink pastel heart I had won as part of a prize for the Great Lakes Pastel Society members show.  I had pondered adding some foliage into the background but then figured that would distract from the figure.  I also cropped the painting at the hip, since all of the attention was up towards the face I felt the legs and long shirt did not add to the overall composition.

I plan on using the heart for more under paintings, stay tuned.
