I put in few more sessions, arthritis determines the length of time I spend in the shop, especially at projects that are hand intense.
The first couple were spent on background shading... it makes the foreground really pop.

The next couple sessions were spent adding detail and color to the tooled sections. I still haven't gotten back what I lost. Miss T liked the results, I am happy with the improvement, but not back to where I was and no where near the quality of the work I see in the guys I watch on youtube. Practice will help me get closer.

I look at the piece and see the mistakes I made and will use it to improve. But, like most hobbyists, it's what "I'll" always see. Others see the beauty of the project and may never see the errors unless they work in the medium. (Woodworking, ceramics, leather... ) We will always see what we did wrong.
I enjoy the practice as well as making something I'll use. More videos to watch, more practice to get busy on.
