Work continues on this painting. There’s still a bunch of fine detail to line, and of course I may still change some colors and other stuff. But I’ll finish it in the next couple of days. By the way, if you haven’t already checked out the new 2009 calendars a couple entries down from this one, please do!
I’m actually not that happy with this piece — I think it’s too busy. It would have been better suited to a large painting (4′x6′ maybe), which I may revisit in the future. My next painting is going to be based on The Cure of Folly which I think will be far more successful. Check out Caitlin‘s latest project, some nesting dolls, on her page by the way — I think they turned out great!

lookin good, maybe a darker range of back ground colors would make it feel less busy?
Thanks — you’re 100% right! I just mixed up a really nice golden brown transparent glaze and have been using that on it… I’ll do a bit more with it and post an update tomorrow. I didn’t think of it until you mentioned it.
rad, cant wait to see the update :)
