CLEO ON THE NILE

CLEO on the NILE - in progress

There is still a long way to go before Cleo on the Nile is finished.  It seems to be taking as long as a one-armed Egyptian building a pyramid for a pharoh - kinda difficult picking up those huge, heavy stones and piling them up on his shoulders - let alone carrying them.  Ramona the "belly-dancer", who posed for my Cleopatra, will most likely be an old woman with about 6 grandchildren bouncing on her lap by the time it's completed.  But I'm enjoying it - watching each brush stroke bringing the painting to life is somewhat rewarding - an accomplishment of sorts.
