Thanks Garth. The integration of surroundings and self is a key part of what I'm trying to do with this one. My initial sitting with this was several weeks ago and, in that session I blocked, in the overall composition fairly quickly and spontaneously. After that, things slowed down quite a bit. Although it might look like it was done fast, I've probably put in at least 24 hours on this and I'm still not done.
