Just a little progress today on the positioning of the limbs and considering the dark color.  Should it be cool or warm?  Right now it is a cool mixture of prussian blue and lamp black.  This may work against the warm ground.

After setting this painting aside for almost 16 months, I took it up again this week.  It's been hanging in the studio and always in my considerations.  I've been frustrated with a small painting that is just not coming together.  Now, I am working on details of the small painting for a few minutes.  Then, I move on to this painting which allows me more expressive use of the brush.
