portrait of mrs white -- 2

I spent a long time changing the color of the hat, having already deciding on the yellow/orange background with the peach/violet face---for some reason the hat color gave me fits---then I decided to break out the newspaper. So now it's a mixed media piece. Acrylic and old media.

Used an old 1908 public domain photo titled "Portrait of Mrs. White" by Clarence H. White as the reference photo for this painting. I liked the look of the original roughed-in painting---which reminded me of an old french poster---so I kept the blue outlining and left out any detail work.
