I used the last of the palette on this vineyard painting. In the reference photo, there's some unattractive dead grass and open earth patches; I'm ambivalent about showing them or having a more idealized image.

This one has a strong terra cotta background, which I think I should tone down. But not too much, because I decided to play off all of that warmth on the walls with the color of her dress; in the original photo, she's wearing black, but I thought, why not a dazzling deep blue-green?
