Nearing the final stages, will put in highlights and further "aging" tomorrow.

This has been a lot of fun, and I have an idea for one more piece with these

guys, but it will have to wait for a bit.

I will post the final version late tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Progressing quite nicely, I think. At this point they look like they

are floating above the surface. Kind of a nice visual.

After this piece is finished, I think I will revisit my early fantasy

work as I return to the "Realm"

As you can tell, I work from upper left to lower right. This time,

I am being very careful not to scratch the ampersand panel as I am

leaving the panel unpainted to create the background.

Starting the color work for "Balance & Symmetry"

It doesn't show up very well in this photo, but the drawing

has been transferred to the Ampersand Pastelbord that I work on.

This support is by far my favorite.

This is a detail of the first clown being painted. Layering in the first

layer of pastel, a Prussian blue. Several more layers will be worked on

top of this, just getting started.
