Red Laces

I strug­gled quite a bit with this one. That’s largely because of the very strong value con­trasts, the large areas of sub­tle darks, and because it’s not easy get­ting the right chroma in that hue of red in the lights. The paint­ing looks good in fairly bright light, but flat­tens out in dim­mer light.
