Happy New Year and a painting a day for January

As I did last year, I will be posting a new painting each day and joining the January challenge by fellow blogger Leslie Saeta
This month I will focus on two personal challenges, learning from the masters about color and composition and getting more abstract.
Todays painting is a Degas, the original pastel on grey paper, titled Girl Combing Her Hair. Mine is a simplification in oil on Arches oil paper.

    Love seeing the subtle nuances of color in these - bits of yellow in the green and in the purple. How Degas was the king of color!
