The Domestic Menagerie Is Coming Along ...

Miss Moo
7.5 x 9.5 in / 19 x 24 cm
Added some phthalo blue highlights and a grey "shadow map"
[ aureolin, quin. pink, cobalt blue] 
Intensify some areas, lift others
Photo taken outside - much closer to "real" hues


 Miss Moo is done, and I think she is quite sweet-looking. I took the photo this morning outside, and it gives a more better idea of the true color.
The goose needs more play with his shadows, and work on the bill and feet. I am wondering about the background. My tendency is to be quite dark and dramatic, but I think this will need something more subtle. It depends on how intense I get with his body shadows. What do you think??
