Default The Landscape for Cooling His Heels

I finally finished the landscape for my "Cooling His Heels" scene. I must admit, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pull it off. But, as luck would have it, it turned out better than I could have imagined. I'm tickled to death with how it all worked out. I still have a few little tweeks here and there and I have to fill out the scene with some "special" add-ons, but this one is on its way to a really nice piece.

I would love to know what you think of this piece so far. There are may more photos on my blog and a full description of how I created the whole scene. I invite you to stop by and have a look.

Wonderful. Just wonderful. The whole concept came together. The stage and the player.
The neat part is how the whole image triggers memory.
Here I sit, freezing my buns off, wondering if and when I'll ever get the chance to do that.
