Trial and Error Progressing Nicely

I've been sitting on this piece for along time. I built the frame and whale over a year ago. Time flies!

I'm finally getting around to painting it as the Lynn Hanson Gallery show approaches. I have plenty of work ready, but I like how the last minute rush can produce a tremendous amount of work in a short period of time

Here the frame has been painted and the initial stages of distressing have begun.

The distressing is almost complete. Just adding some moss effects. Adding the unfinished elements to get an idea of what it will look like.

The saw blades and moon are pretty much done. Now on to distressing the plaques, adding the moss, and working out what the background panels will look like.
