I last reported to you on the book progress on February 26, saying that my quota for February had been met.
Perhaps you are wondering why I didn’t take the opportunity to get ahead a bit. This is a legitimate question, and I have 3 reasons for not forging ahead of schedule.
1. I went to Chicago on a 5 day trip. (Okay, I was only in Chicago itself for one short day, but if I said I went to Downers Grove, you might just say “Hunh?” Or perhaps you are more refined than that and might say “Where?”) You can read about it and even see photos on my other blog, beginning February 27.
2. It is time for me to complete some oil paintings for a request, a barter, and a gallery in Three Rivers (Colors has no website, but might be on Facebook, which I am not, so you are on your own there.)
3. My husband Michael (AKA Trail Guy) and I recently designed and ordered custom Mineral King tee shirts and they are now available! That has taken up some potential drawing time.
In other words, there is more to my life than drawing The Cabins of Wilsonia, and sometimes I have to do a bit of a juggling act.
But fear not – the drawing machine has been restarted! #116 is on the table.
This is soooo beautiful.
Thank you, Catherine, my Number One Commenter! That cabin was a challenge – it is very lived in, with all the parts of “lived in” far too visible. I finally focused on the rough wood supports of the porch overhang and cropped out most of everything else.
