My sweet cherub of a baby is suddenly a terrible and unpredictable napper, which means it took three separate days to complete this painting, instead of just one morning session.
I had to contend with the paint drying in patches, a muddied palette, and multiple interruptions. All of that led to a kind of irritated determination that I'm going to call Painting While Pissed. So I kind of see this piece as a lesson in what NOT to do. (See also: keep the cloth one simple color & don't attempt a fussy pattern)
Yay learning!

You pulled it off with apparent ease. I don't get the feeling of irritation here, just a restful confidence. Brilliant!
