Micole as Siren Framed

I've framed "Micole as Siren".  Micole will be here on Tuesday to take it home.  It's always hard to part with a piece of art.  They become like a child in a way.  I'm happy it's going to her though.  She really likes it and I did create it as a study for a larger version I hope to paint within the next year.

I changed the background of the painting a little.  I hadn't made it large enough to fit the frame I bought.  I had to paint out to the edges.  The only real difference though is I added some green on the left and then thought it looked at little like leaves being taken up by the wind.  So I emphasized the shapes a bit to make them look more like leaves.  I then added some red to the water lilly bud to the right of Micole.  I also signed and dated it.
