I painted this at an art meet up this pm. Honestly, I struggled with her. Was not feeling it. Her hair went through many colors.. Turquoise, yellow, orange, red.. And eventually the fall colors emerge. Guess fall was on my mind😉 When I came home, I was still not happy with her but could not stop working until this.., I am finally happy with her. I think the blue background really made a difference. Glad I did not give up on her. 

I love this quote “if the words you spoke were on your skin, would you still be beautiful?”. Very thought provoking. Sometimes, we pay so much attention to how we look, but beauty is more than that. It’s how we behave, what we say, how we treat each other,… Beauty is so much more.
