10 x 14 in  -  25 x 36 cm     Watercolor     This was done for a two hour chalenge on PaintingFriends.com.

I don't think I quite managed to pull it together on this one. I can't decide whether the dark background should have been reduced or increased it certainly is one of those paintings that looks better as a smaller image.

Many thanks to Desiree for the use of the reference image here.
