Moses Botkin Mothly Challenge

Another limited palette challenge! What a duesy (I know where that comes from now I think... we just visited Auburn, Ind. and the Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg car museum.) Anyway - I painted a figure, of course. He is yellow. But I really actually like the painting a lot in spite of the yellow flesh. I used Indian Yellow with ivory black and tit. white. Indian Yellow is a really interesting yellow. Its on my palette all the time. It is transparent, can be very warm and bright, or makes a nice gray green when mixed with black as I discovered.
Today we are heading into Chicago for the last "leg" of our trip. A couple days being tourists in the city and visiting the Art Institute should get me good and inspired to begin work again.
