Finished Ron


Ron's Landscape: 60 x 90 cm Oil on Linen

All done! and just in time really, as it needs to get on its Greyhound bus to go to Darwin next saturday, and of course needs to dry before then so it doesn't stick to the packaging.

So this is what 6 hours 'finishing off' looks like . . . would have finished in about half that time if I hadn't started fiddling around with the main eye, moved it up, moved it back etc. I also decided to put the paint marks on his neck that perhaps look like my mess and not Ron's, but drew the line at the splotch of yellow he had on his beard, as it just looked odd.

Off to see if I can finish the kid with the icy pole (just some face work to do, re highlights and tonal stuff), as the next deadline, the Peta Appleyard Gallery group exhib is fast approaching.
