I take some of the same paint and a little of the Naples yellow that is still on the
tin foil covered board I use for a palette (this is a big time operation, LOL) and
play with the torn shirt too.
I work with the wet paints and blend the ripples and cut areas of his arm.
I blend some on his face and hair. I make his head a teeny tiny bit bigger
than what Fred did and I glaze some burnt umber over the torn shirt in the
shadow of his chest.
A little phathlo green for the devil statue.
I mix some light gray and mid gray and paint the smoke trail. I swipe
some burnt umber through it while it's wet and and blend ever so slightly to
give it a swirl look. I hang it up on the wall to dry. I like it. Thanks Fred.

Well, I like it too! Another terrific job. I think that Fred would be very impressed. Bob Larkin has said that Scotty's work is amazing. High praise indeed.
I like that fact that Scotty had the wafting smoke more smoky that in the original. The cowled man's fingers are superb.
I juts re-read this story recently and was chagrined to see that the devil statues were all red. I thought Fred got it wrong until halfway through the story, a blue one showed up.
The next Pfeiffer Doc on deck for Scotty: The Mystery On the Snow. Can't wait.
Great art Scotty, and your detailed account of this painting's evolution renders a valuable service to budding artists who visit this site. Thank you for sharing the "inside story" of what all is involved in creating such an impressive work of art.
