Red White And Blue

Well I still have a lot of the details left to do, but today I think I will start putting in the gray blue background. I did the red and white ribbons yesterday. I am surprised how adding the red and white ribbons made it feel so much more like Clydesdales. I had pondered blue and white ribbons, like "Strength" has, as they would coordinate well with the background. But I went with my original intention, and I like it.

I am bracing myself for the inevitable feeling of despair that occurs when I begin the background. There is always a point where I am sure I've ruined the piece. But I keep at it, and pretty soon things fall into place. Usually.
