Three Graces - 22

Here's a view of the entire area the picture covers. I've been working on preparation for the background for much of the day...taking photos and sketching. One thing I like to do is print out a series of small images like the one above and then draw various different ideas for back ground and sky textures etc...there's a long way to go yet, but much of the difficult intense work had now been completed...the background will be freer and less distinct.
