Nowhere Near Done

This is the thing the other thing was a sketch for. This is about 1' x 3'.

Yes, really.

The cat is helping me with this one, as you can see. She's doing the red bits that don't actually go on the canvas.

I'm not totally sure I like the water-mixable oil paints. In theory they're easier to clean up than the traditional kind, but I find the fumes surprisingly irritating. I guess that's the trade-off? Irritating paint vs. irritating clean up? But... I spend so much more time painting than cleaning!
