It's been while since my last update. Here's the last pic from May 25th. I was making excellent progress until I pinched an nerve in my neck (whilst sleeping violently) and since then I have been useless and restless to beging painting again.

Here's a picture of the progress as of a few days ago... The antlers are mostly complete, just needing a little fine tuning once I have finished the background. I have just  done a base layer in the foreground.. it looks very strange right now, but once the background is complete I will be filling the foreground with foliage in fall colors.

By the end of the weekend, all the fur will be complete! Before starting on the maginificient antlers, I will likely do a wash in the foreground and while I wait for that to dry, I'll begin the antlers.

Progress over the last week ....
