Blahbiniumus Majorus: A Frame for Mystaphorical Parfait

I started this frame for Mystaphorical Parfait several months ago, but just recently finished carving the final passages.  Here are the side panels just before being carved.

A few days later, I spray painted everything black.  Once that paint had set up, I started in with the oil paint.  I wanted to make the color scheme very muted (just four comparatively dull colors) when contrasted with what was taking place on the canvas.

It's also a bit underwhelming to see two days worth of painting summarized in just a handful of images.  Here are some detail shots once the frame was installed at the Figge Art Museum.

This is what Mystaphorical Parfait looks like now.
