Thank you Leonardo! I have committed myself to creating only original ideas for my competition pieces. I've had this one kicking around for a couple years before starting on it :D feels great to have it out!
Once I figured out that Romain used a mechanical pencil for the scales I knew I could do it :) thank you for the nice encouragement. I will continue to paint bravely my crazy ideas :D
