Memories in Black and White

I've taken a break from color and have decided to work on my values in Black and White. What better way to do this than to recreate a time when black and white was so prominent .

Acrylic paint was my choice of medium for this new adventure. Instead of using oil I decided to flex a different muscle and use a different medium.

I'm thinking I may revisit this painting and use oil just to see and feel the difference.
So let's call this a study.

Here is the completed painting. After receiving some interesting feedback from some very well respected artist friends of mine I decided to add some lavender notes and create a much cooler background.
