Face 20 - 29 Faces Challenge

Face 20- 29 faces may challenge - This abstract face is painted on 4x4" MDF wood with acrylic paints. I have tried to give it a stain glass kind of look partly and is different than the big eyes I love to paint. Guess thats what the challenge is all about - to try and get out of your routine style and try different styles. This one was unplanned painted directly without sketching.
