Gator on the Prowl....

It's too hot for me to work on large pillowy washes for the Chinese lantern painting...so I had to return to gator painting today.

There are only small washes and corrections to do on this piece. Finding areas to make richer and more complex-- illustrating the gator gliding through the water...

I am beginning to like this piece. It has totally evolved away from the way I first intended it. Who knew?!

All it needs is work on his head... and then I think it's done!

Oh yes... I inadvertently smashed it in the back of my truck...so there's a giant fold down the middle of the painting...that has to be flattened out when framed. Darn!
