Something New

I've been working on this one for a while in the evenings, as it's not color critical. Initially, I'd planned to do it in acrylic, but the paint wasn't cooperating. Apparently it's best to build up the color using very thin, watery layers. Switched to oil (you can put oil over acrylic, but not acrylic over oil) but it's still been a challenge because of the tiny details. Nevertheless, I persist.
