Robert - Me too, I like knowing what world someone has created to help them create.

Wendy - If I followed the plants really, really closely, I'd spent an extra dozen hours on a painting, so I use em as helpful reference and let my imagination run with what I see.

Monday - 9:45pm:

I worked in my living room for a short session with the hair.

Tuesday (day off) - 10:00am:

This is a park near me we call Lake Mistake, along the Miami River.

I paint under the AK Steel Canopy. While I work the rising sun causes the metal to expand and pop and ping softly.

This color is unintentionally exaggerated, but you can see that the wrapping on the spears is looking pretty good now.

For Ohio this is pretty good scenery. That, and the peacefulness of the area draw me in.

Vig.4 is looking together now. All I have to do from now on is BRIGHTEN and REFINE.

I've been really jamming on this piece because it is a birthday present for someone, and I was very slow to get the email requesting it. My goal is to wrap it this Friday at the DaddyKatz Cruise In and ship it next Tuesday.

Thanks, everyone.
