Working on the reconfigured copy

Sometimes gallery visitors take my picture while working on a copy. I thought this was rather unique. Notice the use of the maul stick. The tip should have a protective soft ball so as not to scratch the painting. I'm a rather crude artist and feel I can always correct any damage to the painting.

This is a recent shot of the painting. Each day I concentrate on a section of the work. All of the elements are roughly blocked in. The problem now is to refine the images. I will probably return to many of the images several times to achieve as close a likeness as possible.
