Earning the Big Bucks Painting a Cabin

This is how it looked the last time we discussed the back country cabin in Kings Canyon National Park.

“We discussed”? Who is this we? Um, well, me. I thought it looked sort of fakey with just 2 thunderheads.

No worries. The sky dried enough that I could add more. And notice the added detail to the face of the cabin. This is so fun to paint!

See the corner detail? Log cabins have very busy and intricate corners. This little part took a long time to figure out what I was seeing, and how to make the light be correct. In the photos, there are people in the way and they cast shadows. I have to figure out which shadows are from them, and then eliminate those shadows, along with figuring out what should be showing behind the people.

That’s why I get paid the big bucks.

Hahaha, heheheh. . . hooey, that was a good one! 😎
