Garden painting

Large painting on door.







Using chalk helps me define and adjust areas.
Later I can apply more paint.

    1. Hussam, you are kind to say this. Sometimes all of our art is a reflection of ourselves, don't you think?

  5. beautiful in the light and shadows of day.
    do you paint over the chalk? or brush it away as you paint?

    a year or two ago i painted my kindling box, a wooden drawer someone had thrown away. I was surprise at how long it took and how much paint. Your door is much larger, has it been a big / long project?

    it really is wonderful.

    1. I usually brush the chalk away and it still shows a little and sometimes I forget and paint over the chalk and it doesn't really matter.

      This project is not a long one. I normally paint around 2 hours at a time and so far this has been three 2 hour sessions. I'm hoping to give it a couple more 2 hour visits.

      It really has been special, like meeting someone that I already know.:))
