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.

January 20 Gilding the Lily


Today's painting has a nearly perfect background. I know, that's open to interpretation. I liked it. I considered painting a portrait of someone in front of it but know better than to start something like that after 7 p.m. So, instead, I gilded the lily - painted something unnecessarily pretty on something that was already neat all by itself. And I used a little rubber cement to make it stick.

I can hardly wait to get Jim's ideas on this one. Jim?
