CALLISTO - 25 color palettes

25 oil color palettes mixed while painting Callisto! She is the second allegorical figure in my series honoring all nude artist models. Callisto is named after one of the moons orbiting Jupiter that scientists speculate may have an underground ocean. She allegorically represents the adventurous adolescent.
