man, this one was pretty crazy. i was drawn to the different light schemes: warm to cool. it was pretty difficult, and i don't think i quite nailed it, but i think i got close. this image is carrying some glare in the darks from when i shot it - i will have to wait for it to dry and shoot it again so you get a better idea of the color of the darks.

this painting was a blast to paint chris! i was really thinking about shape here -- the relation of one shape of color to the next -- a very hawthorn-ian approach, but i feel this is the way to paint. it is all about color/value and shape. what do you think?
