Slum Child Completed at last

I have finally finished Slum Child, and as you will see it has changed a little from my earlier blog.  The colour of the girl's dress had to change to lemon, to give her more focus, and I have filled in more detail.  It is quite a dark picture, and not one everyone will like it.  The painting was done from a photo of a Mumbai slum, and I have not been able to include all the rubbish and accumulated debris of the original - there was just too much.  The colours are my own, as the original was very brown and dirty, and so I picked out the bits of dirty colour that were there and enhanced them to give the colour of the walls.
