Thanks, Adele! Hope you're off to a good start in '25 over there in your slice of Heaven. I'm keeping my head down away from all of the politics and just focusing on my work and some upcoming travel. It's keeping me sane...at least for the moment. 😉

Thanks, Kevin. So glad you like it!

Thanks very much. I tried to keep the color options as subdued as possible. My palette was almost entirely Titanium White and Lamp Black, with Georgian Oil paints' Blue Grey color mixed in to push the cooler temperatures. Only very small amount of Burt umber was used in warmer areas.
