Enlightened Buddha

I'm making quick progress on this, my third painting in my "Enlightened Buddha" series. I really enjoy painting Buddha and I will most likely make this a series of about ten paintings all told.

Here is the initial sketch on canvas..............

And here is my progress so far..............

I'm dropping in color and adding depth. I am hoping to finish this up in the next couple days. I am also preparing my fourth Buddha work which I have an idea for floating around in my head! I really need to get that one down on canvas soon. I will be back with more progress on this one soon.
