I just finished this painting after working on it all month. It took around 30 hours which is crazy and makes me want to learn how to paint loose. I hope it was worth it. I chose one of about 100 photos I took of the reservoir in October.

Commission completed Dec. 20, 2008

I finished painting this Canton, Connecticut home on Friday after many long hours. If you recognize the house, please don't rush out and call the owners because it is a surprise for one of them! The person who commissioned it hasn't even seen it yet. Jeff just taught me how to take a photo of the painting with indoor lighting, and here it is. I thought I was going to have to wait for the snow to stop to shoot outside like I have done in the past. Thanks Jeff!

Sorry for the lack of posts this month. Thanksgiving, lots of no school for the kids and a zillion other things have limited my painting time. Now I'm ready to paint more and the kids have 12 days off of school in a row starting 1:10 on Tuesday! I WILL paint anyway! Now that this painting is done I am going back to the birds. I am almost done with a Yellow Warbler. :)

I finished this commissioned painting today after about 40 hours of painting over 3 1/2 weeks. The reference is shown in the July 6 post. I sure am glad it is done! Now I need to get it to the Adirondacks, possibly after having Giclee prints made first.
