33rd Foot homestretch

[garyjd]

Things are slowly winding down on this painting. I'm going to let it sit a few days as the red is probably the biggest hurdle on this one.

More work has been done on the coat since this
photo was taken. The red is taking a while to dry
so in a few days I'll go back in and add highlights
and deep shadows.





As in the previous photo more work has been done
on the face and tricorn as well.

Gary, this is shaping up to be a VERY good piece! Thanks for showing us the WIP steps as this comes together.
Any chance you'll be making the trek to Valley Forge next week?

Don, Thanks, I really appreciate it. I had planned on coming to the show but unfortunately I had to change my plans. Maybe next year.

Thanks for all the comments fellas. Typically I have mixed feelings at best, but I'm feeling pretty good about this one so far. The fact that it's such a small piece is a big help. Larger pieces are in the near future. ~Gary

What medium do you work in Gary? Your work certainly has a contemporary feel to it.
