Steven, Mike, Mari, Peggy and Jean,
Thank you all for your kind remarks, which are very much appreciated.
I'm posting a closeup view. I'm still struggling a little with my digital camera; these images look more orange and blurrier than the actual painting. I'm shooting outdoors in full sun and there are some sparkles from the paint ridges. (I think this effect is more pronounced when I use Liquin, which I used in this painting.)
I know I can filter this out with some of the dials on my camera, and I should really knuckle down and learn how to do this, but I'm goofing off this week. I'm going to see "The Two Towers" for the second time; just watching Legolas get on his horse is worth the price of admission.
