Gethsemane

Right right! Today I began the underpainting to Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, a painting about destiny vs. love.

I've shown an older version, the first version which I stopped work on a month or so ago. I wasn't comfortable with inventing the lighting on the trees there so I've since remodelled that area. However I like the general look of the picture shown and have decided to crop it with the intention of finishing it later as something new and different.

I expect the underpainting to take ten days, with another ten for glazing at a later date.
