Gamboge

May have played up the inner rectangle too much and have to backtrack a bit next session.  The image beneath this one is perhaps better, though I worked up the luminous passages a bit more in this state, changes that I will keep.

Gamboge is a very transparent indian yellow that makes wonderful glazes.
