Malla - more or less ready

Ok, I painted the finishing touches today in a studio that was in near sauna temperatures (ahh, summer...). I'll let this rest a bit and then see if I have missed something. Now it is just a question of letting it dry. Oils are fun to paint with because they are so flexible, but they take their time to dry. While they do that, often the darker colors get a bit of a dull appearance. So after a while you need to varnish the painting to bring back the brightness of colors.

Here is my reference photo:
