adding all the elements together for a painting

All the separate elements of the painting are finally pulled together in the composition. There is no real rule on how to achieve this aside from moving things around, re tracing, looking at it all in a mirror and eventually it just starts to 'work'. This process can be a little frustrating and always seems to take me twice as long as I first estimated. It gets there in the end though. Time to paint at last.
