Mural, Day Eight

The usual – get there, stare, wonder where to begin, take a photo or two, spread out the tarp, wonder how missing 2 afternoons of painting could have so severely impaired my professional confidence.
Think think think (like Winnie the Pooh)
I’ll start here, working on the ladder. It needs more upper greenery, and the medium tree on the right is clearly unfinished. I can paint sequoias. This will get me back in the groove.
Better, but it is missing the natural light filtered through the adjacent oak tree.
This. I can do this while standing on the ground.
Better, but I’m cold and it is getting dark.
Inch inch inch forward.
Everything will look better tomorrow.

    • Thank you, Virginia. I keep thinking, “What am I doing and who am I fooling?” But all art projects hit their rough spots, and I just push through.
