Completed painting

I think this was a more successful piece.  Although each figure was based on a projection of the same photograph mask the movement of the sun distorted the shadow as I worked creating differences in each one and giving the impression of a crowd of people.  Dry brushing a thin layer of acrylic over the figures created variations in coverage, leaving some areas more obscured than others.
