One of the unexpected experiences with this painting was adapting to a small-sized, slippery store-bought canvas, whereas I’m most comfortable painting on large home-built frames at least 3 ft. wide with stretched with canvas that has more texture. Trying to find the right colors of blues and greens was also a bit of a challenge. The painting has been reworked many times; I scratched and scrubbed off days of work and began again many times. For that reason, it took over two years to complete. A few images of earlier stages:
