Thanks everyone. I've been working on it all morning and will spend the rest of the day on it. I'm building the colours. I'm just using the primary colours to make a gold colour but, I've not put enough yellow in. I need to gold it up a bit more. The tones I've used though, will do as a bit of an under painting. I'm happy with how the face is coming along, though, more work is needed and l like the blue, which I will probably put a bit more through the painting. He won't be floating in the air, he will be on some sore of cushion. I believe they bring, health, wealth and peace, I best be keeping him for myself in that case then.

This is going really well, Denise.  I like the blue light on his face.

Thanks Paul and Lewis. I'm stopping on it for the day now. when you look at something for so long, you stop seeing it. I will carry on with it tomorrow with fresh eyes. I think I'm glad with the progress today. I still think I need to add more yellow to those tones when I'm mixing.

It’s looking great so far, a bit more tonal modelling in places will help!

Thanks Bari and Ellen. I think this may well be done now. I will give it one final look tomorrow. I've never sold a painting before, I wouldn't know what to ask but I won't be asking much because I wouldn't have a clue. I've enjoyed doing it. It might not be something I would paint for myself so I have tried to bare that in mind when I have been doing it.

It’s superb Denise and painted beautifully. Don’t be to coy in asking for a fare price , you have put a lot into it. Like a lot of commission work you paint what the customer want not what you like , very wise keeping that in mind when you were painting it.
