Manganinni

Acrylic on canvas 24"x24"
At the end of a day of painting I had some Red Gold and Purple left on the palette which I didn't want to waste. I started this portrait using just those two colours plus white. To my surprise, they were the only colours I needed. The trace of blue that shows through here and there is from the previous painting that I painted over.

Comment by Roena King on January 8, 2015 at 4:54: This turned out so special! You should have some canvases sitting there so you can quickly grab one and "not waste paint!" It is a non planned masterpiece!
