Brilliant mate

I'm calling this done. The only angle I could get without the lamp lights creating extra shadows. Will try again with morning sunlight...more photos in the completed section tomorrow

The coat of Matt varnish helped bring out the details which were covered by the shine from areas worked with glazing.
Phew!!...Painting and Dio done within two months. The sculpting was an on and off thing spanning a couple of years before COVID.

Cheers,

Wabble, I have to say to say I love this mate. The idea and execution are brilliant.

Thank you Scottie, glad you love it. I'm also glad it's near done.

Looking good Richard. This is a simply idea but fraught with problems and complications. The lighting, the interaction between the figure, the donkey and the snake and the overall composition are all issues to sort out. You are doing a great job.

Thanks Jim. The simpler the idea, the more complicated the execution gets...there is no where to hide imperfections. And when you add lighting, painting becomes a challenge. So far I hope it's turned out okay and respectable.

Cheers,
Wabble
