Still a work in progress, but I like where it’s going. It’s getting very close to finished.
It always helps for me post it so I see everything I want to fix! But it’s also so much nicer in person.

12 x 18”
Oil on Watercolor Paper.

A young white woman with short wavy hair, wearing a gold and silver emergency blanket so it looks like a fancy cloak with a frill silver collar. She looks sad & tired. Behind her are russet geometric pyramidal shapes surrounded by blue…streets filled with water up to the roof. Only these shapes seen. Swooshes of pale green paint like watercolor, suggest trees in the distance and light washes of blues & yellow make up the sky. 
She is painted realistically and stands in front of the landscape. She is at eye level, while houses are below, as if seen from above.

I love her expression and gaze.

Something is making me feel off-balanced about the composition. It's listing to the right. Which might not be bad.

The colors feel very balanced across the canvass and I love how her face is more saturated I think, it draws you in.

Very good ... curious to see where it goes.

@futurebird thank you!
I’ll check the horizon line with a t square tomorrow. It might be the photo too.
