Thanks, Mark.  So happy you liked it.  I'll leave the vlogging to you, my friend!  😀(You're doing a great job with it, BTW.)   I'll let my brush do most of my talking.  LOL Time-wise on that painting... I think I recall several weeks.  It takes time to work up the studies, then I spend a LOT of time just kicking back and studying what to do.  It's like a chess game...study the position carefully before the next move!  Have a super day bro!
