I just have to check for any flaws that need touch up another day, and coat it with a UV varnish and Alphonse Moocha is done. Here are the final pics (click on them to enlarge):

I had a run-on thought this morning. I've been having a lot of those lately, and they usually end with a "huh".  Here's mine today: We all live… in our tiny homes, in our tiny worlds bustling like teensy ants on our tiny planet… and if by chance our tiny paths cross from thousands of miles away, we recognize our tiny-ness and if we get a glimpse of what is beyond ourselves throughout the universe, we recognize our tiny-ness, if we dare imagine a God far bigger than any god man has created, we recognize more than just our tiny-ness... we become infinitesimal.

I love the contrast that using a black canvas makes. It looks like I have a lot of det...
