Done Drawing!

The underpainting is finally completed! Now comes the very long and arduous process of actually painting the image. Working dark to light, the next couple weeks will entail late nights in the studio and approximately 3 pounds of coffee in addition to the several pounds of paint that will actually be applied to the canvas.
Yet despite all this, it's normally at 2 in the morning when I find myself in the most relaxed state of calm with a paintbrush in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

    Coffee is always welcome!

    Terror struck me last night at 3AM when the coffee maker decided to freak out and leak its entire water reservoir onto the counter, floor and down the hall as I was frantically trying to get it to a sink, like someone trying to get their puppy out the door while its peeing everywhere.

    Needless to say, BOTH tubes connected to the water heater had somehow come undone! Minor surgery later and a fresh pot was brewed!

    Back to Painting I go!
