Three little pigs

 this first one was done about a year ago and most people wondered what was I thinking, but I liked it. when it went into the Westmount gallery it sold quickly and I was asked to do a couple more. and the gallery's love them.

Cherub

Cherub   12x16 Oil on wood panel  SOLD
 
Using the classical style of painting and lighting (single light source) this took several days, and a decision at the end was to leave the background as is or fill it in with burnt Umber.
I thought I was being lazy by not finishing but I like the effect.
What do you think?
