Marc, LOVE how that painting is coming along. I don't think the sky is too light. ♥️

Sno, wow, that underpainting is fantastic! ♥️
 
I'm still working very slowly on my stone sculpture 'ENLIGHTENMENT" the stone
is alabaster.

and also on the alpaca charcoal drawing that I originally did for the Animal And Wildlife Challenge
but have not finished [ the fur takes a long time to do but is fun nonetheless]
Cheers,
Patricia

Wow! Your alabaster piece looks so fluid and beautiful already, Patricia. I love the textures of the fur in your alpaca!

Terrific works in progress. Thank you for sharing the pics!

Over the years rendering the patterns/tessellations has become far easier. The composition remains the most time-intensive part of my work as it develops and evolves throughout the entire process. The gold leaf has become almost as time-intensive as it has become increasingly complex and detailed. This is an early example of my use of gold leaf:

The most recent painting is far more complex in the use of gold leaf:

This is not to suggest that complexity is inherently better. Simplicity can result in marvelous work… I’ve just become increasingly enthralled with more complex and multifaceted work. Brian might suggest this is owed in part to all the J.S. Bach I listen to. ;)
