"Here we are" I thought. This fifth stage looked like a finished painting. I liked what happened with the red glazing in the bottom part. The skin looked both warm and wet in a realistic way. The upper part looked good... but not quite final though. So I had to give it a final touch before I could sign it and abandon it for good.
As a consequence, this image does not exist as a physical piece anywhere on this blue planet.
Final piece is an acrylic painting on Belgian linen canvas 100x100cm 39x39in
