This blog began as a daily painting blog but as life changes, so does a blog. It has become a journal of a writer who paints and enthusiastically works outdoors to maintain fitness.

February 8 Reading in the Trees


With a winter storm cancelling activities today, I had a little more time than usual to paint. Portraits always take more time so tackled a portrait. When Hilary was about twelve, she liked to take her pillow, climb into the tree out by the pond and read. I had a photo to work from since Hilary is almost 21 and the tree had to come down when it threatened to fall on the shop. Making a painting to commemorate that time was perfect use of my time today.
