Playboy of the Western World - Final Sketch before Model, and a new drop painting

The largest rendering I've ever done - this one was 18"x24" Already some parts of the design have changed a little. The thatch above the beams and the tree SL are being cut. The fireplace is going to change to a look that makes a better use of negative space. The SR door is going to move a little bit upstage too. It occurs to me that since we are using a rake on this stage, the terms "upstage" and "downstage" actually mean what they did originally!

The ground row has turned into a full drop now. Here is the first version I've come up with for that.
