Superb Debs!! How on earth did you think of that!? It's beautifully painted, unusual and great fun. The reds are a treat!

It's certainly different and spooky in a good way. As well as the well painted lady, that pillar in the background is a beauty!

This is fabulous, Debs! That's one very interesting lady!

What a great response Debs, lots of red tones and a very skillful painting too!

This is the reason I stopped going to the opera, I always got seated next to something like this, frightening. Very, very well thought out and drawn Debs.

Reminds me of a lady in the 1920's going to a very smart event at the opera - great style and that wonderful aloofness that these flappers displayed. A great 'red' painting and in actual fact the subject matters people are choosing for these challenge are as exciting as the use of the single colours.

Been out since I posted this, and to come back to such positive comments is very heartening! So thank you Satu, Louise,Seok, Christine, Alan and Thea. Really enjoying these challenges now as I've taken a leaf out of Louise's book and I'm trying to produce something quickly, and you all know what a 'faffer' I can be!! Yes Thea I look forward to seeing what take everyone has on a single, simple theme, really interesting. Alan are you an Opera fan? You should start going again a lot of people turn up in jeans nowadays!

Used only three reds and my favourite Payne's Grey, sorry I couldn't help myself! I've given it an ambiguous title, like what you'd see in a Gallery lol as I suspect you might like it or hate it! My husband hates it says it's spooky, but I'm quite pleased with the reds!
