I began this piece six months ago, working on it through November and December before putting it on ice, sporadically returning to it earlier this year. No way have I spent even remotely as much time on a single work as I have on this one, although I have no idea exactly how long - I haven't been counting the hours! I posted an early work-in-progress here which showed an undercoat of white, but it was last month before I plucked up the courage to add colour. It's been a real learning curve as my experience with colour in natural media was very limited - everything's made so easy when working in digital art that it's relatively easy to come up with effective use of colour, but working in paint is a different story! Grateful thanks to Cassie for her advice and criticism along the way - particularly with colour ;-)
I would love some constructive criticism from outside though, if anyone can oblige :-) It isn't quite finished yet - I intend to make some additional tweaks of colour, but what you see here is pretty much the end result. I'd just love to hear any suggestions before going any further!
Thank you so much for viewing and your thoughts are always greatly appreciated :-)

Very nice progression Very good lesions in building a piece of art from found objects to finished work. Your coloration is excellent I love how you carry my eyes to new discoveries. It is abstract at its best. Thank you :o) All of your art is great. John C...
