Carving The Background.

I’ve more or less finished carving the head of the Mari Lwyd in the foreground so today I gave some attention to the background. I wanted some detail in it, but not enough to compete with the Mari Lwyd. I wanted to have some light showing in the background but I didn’t want a solid white, I wanted to retain the sense of darkness, as this is based on some sketches I did at night at the Gower Wassail and Mari Lwyd celebration at Hen Galan.
