The Experiment Is Done ... "Backlit"

This is where I left off
Worked on the leaves with aureolin, quin. gold, quin. burnt orange and phthalo green [YS]
More leaf color, and some spots of new gamboge
7 x 6.5 in.

As a painting, I think the background is somewhat too dark over all, but that is a matter of taste. As you know, all criticisms are welcome, so please do let me know what you feel about it.
   And now, on to more experimenting ...
