I have been lax in getting work done on this stuff, and lax in following my own thread

A bit of an update - the painting is coming along, but there is a way to go yet. With school starting there may be more time in the middle of the day for me. We shall see.
I am very appreciative of the comments!
Fluid and dynamic is an important part of this one little_tippler. The movement and depth I am trying to explore is fun in how it happens in the painting as opposed to the mind's eye/inner vision.
genuine girly, I too often dream of dancing druids. That brilliant bastard Caesar must have been truly spooked by them to do what he did in Britain

Hey Baraka - dryads are gorgeous and intriguing elementals - or whatever it is you categorize such entities. The world seems full of life forces that the female form expresses well. I want to keep exploring those forces both in art and in life. The painting has evolved from the sketch, hasn't it. I am curious to see how I continue to develop it, actually. We shall see.
That is interesting, amonkie. The painting is indeed intriguing, and I am finding the idea of letting the colour and form and shape do the talking instead of crawling deep inside of a piece and crafting it from every angle. This is all new to me.
Thanks for the comment cello. I am constantly worried about the colour, whether it is over worked or underworked, whether I am doing it justice or being a hack - and the colour changes depending on where in my room and at what time of day I work on the painting. It is all rather new to me.
Thank you very much for coming by and commenting Kasey. Let us work out our ways of dreaming and seeing so we can share here in this forum. I wish more people would - it would be really cool to see what is out there in TFP-land
