"Somber Mourning", oil on canvas, 16x20"

I picked this as the title piece because the image and the raw emotion it evokes is self-explanatory. The doll, in this piece represents the misery of the pain in loss, and her desire to hand onto it.
I used a slightly less soft finish to the face than I normally would. While the colors of her skin are vibrant, where she faces away from the light a cool green takes over the shadow.
