Statue, Finished

Ok.   Its finished.  I know I didn't add a lot more too it.  I'd have finished it yesterday, but i ran out of time.  I like this painting, and I hope everyone who sees it does too.

For anyone who is interested in seeing the other paintings in this months challenge, here is a link.

For anyone interested in seeing the original picture I used as inspiration, here is that link.

Statue WIP

So, I got involved in a challenge this month.  The theme of the challenge is "Heavy Metal."  I have a chance to pick from about 200 pictures, each with something else metal in it.  I've painted a few statues before, and rather like painting the aged metal or granite.  I don't care for the background of the original picture, so I decided to take artistic license and change it up a bit.  I want it to look like it is dark around the statue, but the statue itself it lit up.  So, I put in, or am putting in a darker blue/grey background.  We'll see how it turns out  when I am totally done with it.
