Just a little progress update on this commission.  I don't have much time.  I just wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten about you, and I love you all.

Here is the progress thus far, a little over half way done.  The image below is about 2 sessions after the previous photo.  It takes a long time to build up layers for these paintings and even longer when you have added steps because of the damn wind.
