The Faery Queen - stage 7

A couple more glazes of Alizarin Crimson have now been applied and tomorrow I should be ready to paint in all the tree branches which will then get a further red glaze on top of that. I intend to incorporate Naomi's astrological symbols in her chart so her moon sign (Cancer) will go in at top, I have incorporated a scorpion tail into a tree root (her Rising Sign is Scorpio) and she will be looking down onto her Sun sign (Aries). It is important to remember that this is a portrait of a real person but in a Fantasy setting.
