Low Key Portrait

 I thought today's Mono Monday theme was 'Portrait Low key' and as there is still so much to do today I've taken a quick iphone profile shot of this Indonesian beauty, one of the heirlooms from my grandmother, a wooden statue of a head with headdress. Converted in Nik Silver Efex. With thanks to Carolina for hosting MonoMonday in December :-) Edited: Oops, I now see that is the theme for next week, sorry Carolina, this week's theme is 'family/preparations' , ours are still painting all the nooks and crannies of the living room regardless of the upcoming festivities :-) See the extra for a colour mono of today's painting goal, the wall part around the fireplace

Thanks very much for the kind comments and stars for yesterday's love bauble and the AT234 results.
