been away for a while... it can only get better *smile*
Refinished the bell, and the support has been replaced by polished granite. There is a small lighthouse to the left of the bell, just outside the frame, (as shown here: http://www.rudyalicelighthouse.net/CalLts/Trinidad/Trndd64.htm) If you look closely, you can see that it is reflected in the refinished bell. The rusted pole and brace supporting the bell are now copper and brass.
This was created in pheonix (Go Aviary!)... still learning how to use itI hope you like it - all comments are welcome
The original plans called for a much smaller bell.
I think she's pretty good! The woman painting is from photoxpress.com.
