It only took two years

This is just adorable Richard! I remember seeing a snap shot of this and you have reallypulled it all together since I saw that. I think the flooring is especially well done.

Nice to have you post! (finally)

Terri,
Thanks. I'm glad the story in the painting "reads" to others . Acrylic has been my medium of choice for more than 20 years. Kim has been trying to get me into oils. i have ordered Daniel Greene's oil colors at the screaming deal price they had in December. I studied under Daniel and have faith in his critical judgment here. Will let you know how they work out.

Kim,
That red wood decking was a killer. I had a shot of it after an early morning rain and loved the look and feel of the scene. However, it took eight tries and several bad words before I got that slightly wet after rain look. Glad you liked the way it turned out.
