Anna

Anna is the warm, cuddly, loving, and much-loved friend of a friend of mine. She has the most amazing blue eyes, and beautiful gray and white hair. In my painting, she is looking out, quite alert. I believe she must see a chipmunk, a lizard, or perhaps a new toy.

I have used a limited palette in the painting. I chose blue for the background to bring out the color of  Anna's eyes. I included some ocher in her hair to add warmth and contrast to the delightfully, cool, grays, whites, and blues. She reminds me of the summer sky just after a storm.
