R.U.O.K

resubmission

I started off experimenting with gold and copper leaf, using one of my photo references for the model. It happened to be R.U.O.K ( are you okay) day in Australia and while  I was painting this she just got sadder and sadder every time the radio or TV made a commentary.  Social media can certainly can affect our mood.
