Jumping over the Hurdles.

Got to a point where I liked the abstracted background and figured it was time to tackle blocking in the figures. It is going slowly and I keep playing around with the positions.

The clients liked this particular image after sending them about 10 to select from. I made it clear that as I worked the actual image would probably have changes.
I guess my biggest fear is that I am not getting the passion from my original 4 pieces and that has now become my hurdle to jump. Here is the preliminary block in...I expect it will have multitude of changes. Hope it doesn't lose the grace or the passion that I am going for.....
