wonderful, wonderful time off

So, I've had the last two days off from work, which has been very nice indeed, considering it came after an 11 day stretch of work. Sunday morning I spent some quality father-son time with the old man. Following that, an excursion into town for cheese, wine, and the finer things in life, along with my mom, dad, and younger brother. After and evening of awesome food, I found myself inspired to do some art. However, my inspiration this time came not for a character, but for an environment! During our excursion for fine foods, I happened upon a small candle holder (top picture), which instantly sparked my creativity. Leading me to spend that evening, and a few hours the next day working on this!

I hope that you will offer me your thoughts on this, and I will be posting my progress on it soon!
