I finally got around to finishing it. I will trim it back to 14"x14". Here are a few details and the final.

My favorite part is my reflection in the gold watch. How vain is that?

This is fantastic. I love the reflection on the watch. (Is it you?) You have really outdone yourself with this from the composition all the way through.
Wow! A very fun piece, and yes the reflection is the cherry on top. Love to see that you consistently work from life.
I wouldn't call it vanity, just mastery.
There is usually one area in my paintings that I favor for it's subtlety. Like that reflection.
Love looking at the process.
The reflection is incredible, and adds so much to an already "swell" painting. good luck with your show
I noticed the reflection immediately haha good piece :)
So cool, Peter. I hadn't looked at your blog for a while.
I'm guessing those musical notes took a bit of time. I love the 'cowboy dave' graphics...so nostalgic and the SP in the pocket watch, Awesome!!
Great Piece
Peter, I don't know HOW you got the sheet music so perfect ... that must've been quite a project. Beautiful painting!!! Love the watch as well ...
