“I have accepted fear as a part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: Turn back, turn back; you’ll die if you venture too far.”
– Erica Jong

This is a bit more realistic than I normally paint, but I enjoyed it a lot.  I left the white alone, without the aid of that icky masking fluid.  I like this way much better.
