No, I've not bumped it off. It just fainted when I declared I'd do the entire belly region in one day. Bring it on!

Alice helped again today, painting the belly white before I got stuck in, then adding the background blue into some spaces on the face. Meanwhile, I struggled to fit between four immovable zebra legs and paint and ink a stomach. In the background you can see Martin Davey's excellent design. He's dead good, so by all means check out his website (includes dinosaurs).

This is one of me being supervised by my children. They're very tolerant. The good news is that the belly area was finished, so it's back to lions tomorrow!
