Idea sketchs for new picture

After sketching out a number of ideas, I came up with these. This is a variation of the same setup from different angles. I like the 2nd or middle perspective the best.

Midnight Ride completed painting

Well, I'm finally done with this.. I had a ball doing this picture. On to even wilder things I hope!

Midnight Ride

Almost finished.

4th day Raven picture

2nd day painting Raven picture

I spent yesterday stretching my canvas and then transferring my preliminary drawing. Then I painted a thin color wash lay-in to cover the white canvas and established my values. Today I tried to get a likeness of the oldest girl. I had a lot of family interruptions but got some work done.

New evening and daylight color sketch's painted a bit larger

I hope to get my canvas stretched tomorrow( 25"x35") and my drawing transferred as well and begin laying in the first color washes on this finally.

Some color ideas

Three color ideas for this picture. I think I'm leaning towards the nocturne or night color scheme. It seems to be more unified than the sunny day sketch. Maybe a white raven instead of a black one? Any feedback out there?
