And so it begins

So this is the one I picked to do.  I made a few changes in the design layout and moved a frew things around a bit, but, as you'll see below it's essentially the same.

And since I no longer have the luxury of procrastination available to me on this one, I began.

First photo is after a couple of hours wrestling with layout and finally getting it on the canvas, and the second is a few hours later.  

I'm off to buy a couple of paint colors I either ran out of, or were hard as rocks after a 10 month hiatus from acrylic, then back at it again this afternoon.
