Details, Details

Because there was some visible camera shake in the reference photo for this painting, it's hard to tell what, exactly, the shapes are in the background. I've finally developed the patience required to just analyze them and where the shapes are in relation to others, and just paint the way I see them. So far, so good; for the first time I feel confident that this painting is going to e successful. But it's been a long time coming.
