The oil is still tacky so I can't scan this yet, but I had to send it in. I've tried to color correct this but it's still too dark. The look I was going for was that of raw silk. I decided to change the background and place them in front of a screen to symbolize the prince hiding behind the spell of the tiger's pelt. I began this in watercolor after printing the sketch off on Epson Radiant White watercolor paper. For some reason, it started to flake off when I started applying colored pencil. So I sealed it and applied oil paint on top of that. Tara Chang gave me the idea for the second one which I did in Photoshop, just to see how it would look. Thanks Tara.

This is excellent!
The more I look at it, the more I like the cropped version (and *not* just because because I suggested it..). Makes it more unique and interesting compositionally IMO.
Gorgeous! I also like the full background! Beautiful duo!
It's SO beautiful Kim!! Just amazing :)
My thanks to all of you for your kind comments.

Hey Kimberly - this is so beautiful - a whole story in one painting - whooosh - great!
Kim, this turned out beautifully. I've loved it since I saw it back in June at Amherst. And the kimono...MAN! Fantastic work!
I love the effect of light and shadow, really it's a beauty Kim.
