Gothic Arches - Open Challenge - Vintage Swinger

Thanks for the open challenge. It was a chance for me to do some painting. The original picture was a small image in a retro advertisement which I have overpainted to match the scarf on the head of a copyright free image I found on the web. I think she is having a swinging good time being joined to a body after languishing just as a head for so long.
