As you may have noticed, I posted a series of sketches today, and plan to post photographs of the final image as it progresses along. I thought it would be interesting to give others a sneak look at not only a piece as it develops, but also a peek at all the stages that my work goes through from original design to finished image.

I first discovered this idea when Mike and I self published our art book, Diptych. I did a 2 page spread of the development and evolution of one of my earlier pieces, By Light of the 3 Moons. Not one of my strongest pieces, but it was the easiest one to find all the sketches for its development.

Anyway, keep checking back as I post the first 3-4 days worth of images soon on this piece. Oh, and ideas on a title are always welcome. I am thinking something along the lines of "Level 10 Spell," "Wizard's Final Lesson," etc.

I want to thank everyone that helped with the naming of my latest piece. While the final title was not a suggestion from a single source, I got great ideas from everyone and it helped me come up with the title.

The title that I settled on is "Siren of the Sylvan Garden."
