Major Mischief Progress

It's been a while since posting the underpainting to this piece.

So figured it's time to show some progress. Planning to spend a few more hours tomorrow to finish things up before taking another picture, then adding the cover text.

Oil on Canvas 14x18 inches.

Painting's Home at Last!

A couple photos my client sent me of my painting hanging in his living room.

It's satisfying to see it in the environment it was intended for. When starting the project He supplied me with sample colours. Everything from the wall colours, to floor boards, wallpaper and fabrics. I mixed and added those colours throughout the painting.
