Tell a Story

Recently I found some faces for reference from Pixabay. My first intention was to paint this child's face in grey monochromatic values and tell the story in the background using colour.
I painted during my Open Studio event on Saturday and by the time 4 o'clock closing time had arrived I was just about finished. The little chap looked a bit ghost like left in grey so I stayed in the studio for another hour adding colour to his face too. The background is entirely from imagination and perfect for the title of the work.
