New painting started

I normally don't sketch out or compose my paintings before I start; I just start with the white paper and go to it. But in this case, I did compose it before hand (I took pictures of reference materials and collaged them together digitally); and I sketched it in in pencil first.



Spent the afternoon working on this, and was planning to work on it this evening too (or on Margaret's web site), but then ended up wasting the evening away looking at cute cat pictures with captions and cute overload. Those get you everytime...
