  2. Hey Katherine, How is the boat?
    The brushwork does show, and you build the paint in layers but not like your regular glazes, more like fitting in puzzle pieces.

  3. It's a well done piece. Love the expression on his face and the modeling of his arm and hands.

    He went straight to the Dow Jones :( .....Not a happy camper. There's a big empty spot in Hillsboro where GIJo used 2B.
