It was really a true test for me to only use yellow, and I might just have to add a skin tone color to her face and maybe, MAYBE a bit more color in the background. But as I was painting, I heard this little refrain in my head and knew the painting had to be called, “And the Music Suits Her.”
TITLE: Butterfly Prints and the Original Painting available in my etsy shop.

I love her black & white striped socks too! I think it's great that you were able to stay true to your style (and do it so well) with such a limited palette.
Isn't this a fun challenge?!? I think it's so neat to see what everyone is coming up with.
p.s. The necklace is beautiful – I will definitely check out Audrey's blog!
