I have more images from this work in progress.  I'm starting to get into the fine detail parts such as the texture on the matches and the very small letters.  It's mostly the letters in this painting that will consume most of my time.

Kyle, what is the pointy thing in your hand when painting the matches and how do you use it? Thanks!

Thanks John, the pointing thing is a thumbtack with a makeshift tape handle. I sometimes use it for textures that resemble fine scratches I can't achieve with a brush.
