That was quite a challenge Pat and I agree with Mr.Ploos about trying it in sepia. BTW the dog is a nice touch.

Oh God of homeless things, look down
And try to ease the way

Thank you so much , June and Albert appreciate your kind comments
Monochrome paintings do have their charme indeed. masses and volumes and lights are in evidence often better than when rich colors are on place.
In the past many or most masterpieces started that way and there's still today a case for the method called, from French, grisaille, i.e. to put color of the right tonal level on the monochome base. Similarly, during renaissance they used a base painted as a monochrome with the so called verdaccio, a dull green.
You didn't really follow that procedure I guess, anyway You got a fine result, although You sensibly departed from expressing exactly the same "content, feelings and mood" than the monochrome ....but that's just natural.
Panta rei (everything flows)!
Thanks Caesar for checking it out, always appreciate your comments
