Well getting ready to have a big storm, hear it thundering outside so want to get this posted and off the computer.  Might be the final posting for this week.  Have overpainted the dark areas with Tuscan Red and that started to get the neutral grays, enhanced it again with Indigo Blue and Black and think the shadow area is coming together pretty well.  Did the layer of additional solvent and will have to add back in more color but think it is slowly getting there.  Hopefully when I burnish it with white I'll get the wet look.  Again this is a very different technique and lots of layers but do like the rich colors that still show back to the white of the paper.  Still have a lot of work to go on this but it is at least pretty much out of the ugly stage and hopeing I can get itin the home stretch.

Dear Nelvia! You sound a bit grumpy but maybe that comes by the weather
By the way; thunder and storm are one of my favorite wheaters...
You are very well on your way with your kiwi
Maybe you're too harsh for your self?
Take care and I'll write you an e-mail tonight!
