After maybe an hour the surface got really too wet to work, so stopped at this point. The value shifts are stronger in this photo than in the actual piece. Not sure why that it is. The "mango" placement is less problematic now, though because (I think) the viewer's eye goes from the mango, to the crook of the "v" on the right, then "back" to the "v" on the left. If I put a thin line of orange just to the right of that "v," on the horizon line, the view should go through the painting into the deep space in the middle. Painting would basically be laid out at that point, with just fine tuning to do. Maybe a couple of hours away from completion at this point.
