Finishing and Beginning

10 comments
I've decided to call the second barn attempt done and am moving on. I am planning to do a series of barns until I am happier with the results.






In the mean time, I have a framed photograph that I took at Good Harbor Bay in the Leelanau Peninsula many summers ago that I've always loved and wanted to try to paint. I have decided to give it a try. I took a photo of the framed picture, but it is almost impossible to get one without glare unless I want to take it out of the frame and I really don't want to do that, so here is my shot. If you can just ignore the reflection in it, I think you will see what it is I want to paint.





I've also added a bit of shadow under the chairs in my ongoing Adirondack Chairs work in progress. I still have a lot to do with it if it is to be saved, but for now I think the shadows, although not perfect, do help to ground the chairs.





I've done my two miles on the treadmill this morning and feel quite good for it. I am hoping to stay on that regimen for the rest of the Fall/Winter so I will be in good shape for Pensacola Beach in February.


I am getting Little Miss Z later this afternoon and keeping her overnight so will have a busy, fun-filled evening. She is a delight and is changing all the time.


I hope you are finding some fun to do today and am making some time for yourself,


xoxo
