I’ve roughed in the background colors, pretty rich, eh? It’s a really beautiful red-wine/burgundy color with a warm peach/yellow glow.

I was going to wait until I had talked to Mark again before I started painting, but I’m not sure if he’s already settled in for the night or what. SooooOooOOO… I started up the cam! I’ll be painting the background, get that finished up and allow it to set up overnight so I can […]
