Happy Holidays!!

I wanted to ply around a bit with value. My initial goal was to paint up a portrait with top lighting so the upper half would be light on dark and the lower half dark on light. Not entirely sure it was a success but fun to create none the less. I've been wanting to go darker with some of the themes in my personal work lately but haven't quite set aside the time. But with Halloween coming up soon this was a good excuse to experiment.
