9/16/08 – As foretold, the Desert Landscape painting is now back in the cubby. What I’m currently working on (after a bit of a mishap that had just been waiting to happen) is a quick wolf close-up. A cousin of mine commissioned it, so it’s already spoken for. I wanted to do this so I could get reacquainted with the support (scratchboard) before I start on the gallery piece that will eat up a fair amount of time. But like I said, this will be a faster project than usual. Right now I’m about 2-2.5 hours in. A couple of more layers of paint with scratching between layers, and I hope it will be ready.
