brushes

I'm experimenting trying to get the right look/technique down for these pieces... For better or worse... I was complimented the other day by a close friend saying the work reflects a time when I was doing this sort of thing more often... Here goes. 

While it's not quite finished... I am liking some of brushes I've made to work with this. it's the same piece from yesterday with some additional work. I'm getting critiqued from one of my buddies so posted a fairly hi rez version here...
