The Old Puppet
My son asked, “can you get that little man down?” He sits on a shelf in my workshop.

He is very good at yelling and being surprised.
Simple but effective pivoting jaw and head, and swinging limbs.

Building Layers
Building layers onto the upper half panel of Walking Man and the Ancient Ocean. Here, the clouds, sky, middle and far landscapes, and the cliff have all been recipients of a second layer on top of the underpainting. Below are two details, and the panel in two previous states.
