Looking great, I'm most impressed at your painting desk though, a fine desk, full of essential clutter, just like mine, although i can't paint anything like your quality!
I found a few photo's of the sadle earlier, there on this link, hope it helps

That is beautiful.
Can I ask, how do you make the acrylic paint blend so well, is it successive layers of really thin paint?
I've been trying this and I just can't get it right.
Ernest's colours are so real, awesome, but just to make it more confusing :)
I like this one as well for the colour.
