This is close to being finished. A little more detailing, painting the edges, signing it, stick-a-fork-in—it’s done (except for drying, wiring the back, photographing it, varnishing, entering into inventory, putting on the website).

Getting there–big sigh of relief. Now I get to return to the Mineral King Honeymoon Cabin, the other giant oil painting on the easels that is challenging both my confidence and my skills.

P.S. One of Us, by Tawni O’Dell, a book on CD was good all the way to the end. Excellent readers, and it helped me want to keep painting.
