Long Day Slogging Over A Hot Painting

Well, at least it kept me warm on a cold day. I’m about to go watch Philadelphia Story for about the fifth time, so I’ll make this short. Here are a couple of pics of the Crinoid painting as it looked about 5pm today when I washed my brushes and called it a day.

I’m mostly focusing on the foreground today- a nice silty floor for the holdfast of the giant crinoid. The goniatite is beginning to come to life. More maƱana. A great movie and a glass of wine awaits.
