My friend/customer/web designer Forrest requested a large painting of a cabin. He searched for several months, until he came up with a photo that he declared to be “IT”. Alas, he was not the photographer, and I just can’t be copying people’s work without permission.
No no no no, I can’t copy no more, I’m scared of waking up in the courts. No thank you, please, it only makes me freeze (with fear), and then it makes it hard to face the Lord.
Forrest contacted the photographer and got permission!
So, I started. He said it would be fun to see the progress, and I decided to include you all in on the fun. I also told him to not be scared, because they all start out ugly. Forrest’s Nightmare Cabin, perhaps.
Yeppers, it is sideways. Easier to reach the top of this 20×30″ commissioned oil painting. Remember,
I use pencil, oil paint, and murals to make art that you can understand, of places and things you love, for prices that won’t scare you.
(except that the beginning stages might scare you.)

If in the last picture the painting is sideways, it looks like a brownstone in Philadelphia! Does he have a very narrow lot in which to fit this cabin?
Sharon, more will be revealed tomorrow.
Forrest’s last name doesn’t happen to start with “J” does it? (You don’t have to answer–that’s just my guess!)
WRONG-O!
Ah, well, the only “Forrest” I know is Forrest J. I think. Looking forward to seeing the progress!
There is no reason you would have met or would know of the Forrest of the scary cabin commission.
PS: Just having fun!!! Your work is beautiful Jana!!
Anonymous, you have great faith in my ability to rescue this hideous canvas.
“It’s clear as mud to me….”
Anonymous, it is indeed as clear as mud, and it is also quite mysteriously ugly at this stage.
