Last one, I promise

For my own sanity alone, this has to be the last one. As it turns out, the sketch I did in my Moleskine turned out to be the ultimate version for me. But I had already started this one, so I had to finish it.
I painted it in three stages, first a very loose watery wash, then I started to define the shapes, and then I added shading and detail.  Normally, I tend to prefer the 1st stage, all colour mixes and loose shapes. But in this case, my favourite stage was the one where I started to define the shapes. Maybe I should have left it at that?
