OK. I have just checked my blog to see when I began this painting and it was practically a year ago this week. I make no apologies - painting is a hobby, not work. I think that aside from being extremely busy this last year, I got a little bogged down in the planning stage with this one. After one year, I still only had the flimsiest of outlines on canvas but now, I have put the pen lines in, prior to painting and my enthusiasm is back. I still have to tread carefully, as I don't want to get bogged down again, but I feel quite pleased with the results so far. Missing at the moment are the halo (which will be three-dimensional) and the sky, which will be painted rather the outlined to keep it light. It will be framed in cedar and gold, studded with rubies.
