I am over the moon. And that can only mean one thing considering that neither BTC, STEEM or most other crypto has still not mooned yet. Yup, it can only mean that I finished a major painting project and I'm super happy with the result.

You guys have any idea about the kind of rush that a finishing touch on six footer that you spent couple weeks on gives you? When you look at it whole and complete for the first time and you just frikin fall in love with it? That rush is way better than anything I know. The feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment is better than money, sex...and maybe even better than morning coffee, which is quite something for insomniac like me:)

So like 15 minutes ago I finally finished the Pink Rhino in a way that seems perfect to me. I thought I had finished it before, but after few days of looking at it, I did not like the color balance at all. It was too yellow. So I covered half of the painting by light turquoise blue and started again.

For those of you who missed my post about the progress here is the recap

BASIC ONE HOUR LAYOUT DONE

THIS IS WHEN I FINISHED THE FIRST VERSION AND THOUGHT THAT IT'S DONE

AFTER I REALIZED THAT THE COLOR BALANCE IS OFF AND I STARTED AGAIN WITH DIFFERENT SKY

Bam! looks so much better now! Formation of flying geese between the horns of the rhino and a flock of birds just above the sunset tree on the floating island gave it a nice 3D touch!

Let me know what you think? Do you also like the final version the best?
