I came across an old black and white photo of Jean Muir in my garage last week. Not knowing were to put it I set it on my easel till I figured out what to do with it. Feeling the need to paint I set it aside last night. It's placement adjacent to the easel made it convent for subject. Deciding to use something other than my oil paint I decided to use the water based paint I had around my studio. My pallet was limited, using only a very dark green -nearly black in value, a pale yellow - almost a creamy white, a magenta red and a cyan blue. Painted at night with indirect light, local color was not relevant as the value relations.

on the back of the photograph this information is posted:
