Try to be bringing the whole piece along at once. Don't rush that. Maybe you're done with one area and don't know it, because you haven't brought another "balancing" area along with it. Try to see it, try to explain to yourself what you're on about, and then go in and do it. Don't keep pushing one area out of uncertainty as to what to do next. That's when paint application gets thin and scratchy, and other misjudgments get made. Move to another area. Keep the whole process organic. Don't fall in love with any one area.

Good advice...... It will be Saturday before I can revisit this. In between insanities? Been there AM THERE.

"Don't fall in love with any one area. " .... Very good advice, you've been reading my mind.....

I've been lurking here at SOG since 2001. I've seen more than a few Pro's take precious time to give pointers when asked, only to have well... no response... or no progress reports. Your comments are of great value to me and no, I'm not going to go through them like a task list, but as you suggest, carefully, working this piece as a whole. And I'd love to show you the progress because I know the great satisfaction that comes from teaching and seeing results.

Steven this will be great fun, and since it's not a commission, no pressure.

Type to you soon. Thanks again.
