Looks like a convict's uniform in an old prison movie! :-) Really it's just a piece cut from the inside of a White House Black Market shopping bag. I love that store, but not the prices. I had fun painting on a black ground.

The title came to me first with the idea of using the three primaries. A neutral gray might show off the pure color bands, but how to tone the canvas? I thought if all three primaries were peeking through the gray, that would be cool...so below is a shot of my beginning. It's an interesting approach that I might try again.

What do you do when you don't feel like painting? Paint anyway. Keep it loose, not laborious. Yesterday's painting was a bit laborious. I had fun with this one.
