Back to painting after a busy morning. Poor Alexei woke up numerous times last night with a fever. He's been battling the flu so he's asleep on the couch. Fortunately his temperature is coming down but he isn't eating or drinking anything but Gatorade.
After a whirlwind morning helping Rebekah to organize the house I'm back to resume work. I've been looking forward to today's work for some time. I have to put in a bunch of little people in the background. I didn't want to do much of this until I finished the larger figures throughout the painting. Now with that finished I can have a little fun.
I just found a video my daughter filmed of me from my phone. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the work on the demons being roughed in.
1:38 AM
Getting to bed a little early tonight. Last night was a little too late. Once I go past the 3:00 AM window I'm in trouble the next day. Fortunately I had a great day painting today. I painted four figures. Tomorrow all I have to paint is the snakes crawling up the leg of "Sloth." After that I have a few adjustments to some of the figures. After that I am going to do a lot of fill in with smaller figures in the background. I'm really excited to do this because it has been almost 20 years since I did paintings with little people. This is an opportunity to show off a lot of ideas I have very quickly. I've done enough studying torture for this reference, the past few weeks that I am ready to move on to something a little less gruesome. I am painting a Crucifixion for a church next week and somehow that seems serene.
I filled in an area on the right side of the painting with a "Catherine Wheel." I have a figure chained to it and he is being turned upside down in the flames. Envy is also painted. I'm looking forward to a few hours extra sleep tonight.
Good night.
