This one looks much much darker than the first shot. Is it just lack of flash maybe? I know lots of pill heads that would love this painting. :P I miss you clean shaven! Hm.

Does it bother you at all that with the way light hits the canvas, determines light vs dark? I have a painting(one of my first, using acrylic and gels) which mood changes throughout the day. It goes from being welcoming and friendly to abrasive and outright dark and gloomy. For some time I thought it was charming then all a sudden I wanted to burn it. ps.

The turtle is turning out amazingly well. I keep picturing him or the snakes with dreads. Gee, I wonder why. The texture to his frame alongside the shading makes for one helluva shell. Kudos. I really love the look and feel so far. I'm in hopes that you and Caitlin might be up for some sort of summer day in my backyard with canvases, tripods and music! I sure could use a tutorial on Gel medium. The shit is all yucky to work with and I can never get it presise like you do. Boggles the mind. You must use microscopic brushes. Oooh you look evil!
