"Belle Isle Giant"

So I headed down to Belle Isle on a Sunday afternoon thinking I'd spend a few hours doing some quality sketching. I totally forgot it was Easter Sunday and it's a huge Detroit tradition to go to the conservatory and check out the Easter displays. So I took a few snaps and headed home to address to commence painting at a later date. This is the result. The colors in the photograph don't do the painting justice. Not bragging or anything, it's just that you need to see this one in the flesh to appreciate it.
