Thanks Neil! I have just finished it just now but I will have to wait to take a photo tomorrow..any suggestions on how to take a good photo without the glare of the flash? This panel board being so smooth an all reflects a lot of light.

Joseph, this is going to be so awsome!
Thank You Diane ! ..I took another wip photo yesterday when I worked on darkening it a bit( cause the finish will have plenty more light highlites ) and I know it will gert so much lighter I dont want to lose my darks in balance..but I just finished it today so maybe I will just take the finished photo and put that up instead.

Thank You for saying so Linaji, glad to hear you like it! ..If it wasnt for sojie(frannie) I wouldnt even have painted this haha ..oh and Laura too (thanks Laura). Like watching you on sojie !! but I cant find myself time to comment much cause it moves so fast and I dont want to say something to one and miss some one else so I just look at it all haha ..so fun yeah?..so now frannie is letting me do an oil of Jay’s “Masquerade” and abstract ..I dont even remember whe I last did an abstract so haha should be interesting to see me fumbling along..but dont you dare laugh!! haha take care, Joseph. ps sometimes I like the raw colors as I feel painting this initally as appose to cleaning it all up and adding embelishments ,so I can see how you would like the powerful layup here cause I was painting in the mood. :))
