The finished product...

Here's how this one turned out. I added a light mix of cadmium yellow medium hue and titanium white to the background; I had to scrap the carbon black and cadmium yellow medium hue mix as it was just too dark! I'm not sure why I felt the need to pursue the primary colors angle, but I think the work really pops! This is much better than the original version of this painting.
