Athena's Portrait

I painted Athena's portrait for this week's DPW "The Creative Color Challenge". This might not look as if I altered Athena's coloring but I have. I've taken my inspiration from Jo Mackenzie and started  with a Notan drawing and kept it as my guide. I used three values of gray, brown and blue. I also want to thank Patti for a great challenge and for her advice regarding pet portrait commissions.
