Merlin - In Memory

I have been busy working on a few commissions, but managed to squeeze this little boy in between couple of the bigger works. This is Merlin, or rather a very abstract version of Merlin. He belonged to one of my veterinarians -he passed away recently and is sorely missed!!!
I was thinking about painting a larger version and give it to Dr. Dorsh as a gift and wanted to try the color combination on a smaller scale - I think I really like the way he came out and with a nice frame this might just be THE gift.
