I had trouble getting a nice photo of this because it has been raining and cloudy all day, and natural sunlight is the best for taking really nice photos of paintings. So, prints are not quite available just yet, but will be once I get a better high-resolution photo of it. This image should suffice for the Internet though, even if it's a little "fuzzy" compared to the original. I wanted to go ahead and share it, and I will post close-up "detail" shots once a better photo has been taken. But honestly, it's something that should be seen in person to really appreciate.

I think this is my personal best, as far as technique goes - I estimate a good 20+ hours worth of actual painting time (i.e. that doesn't include sketching and composing). My ability is still a long way from where I want to be, but for now I'm very pleased with how this turned out. I would love to hear your opinion, so please feel free to Comment. And please forgive the wretched © watermarks - they really take a lot away from artwork shown on the Internet, and we have thieving assholes to thank for that.
