Fun with photos....

Just had to show you what I have been doing....I started a number of paintings with the new photos of Water Valley in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This one is my favorite so far....I used a new (to me) technique to do the background...and I like how it is turning out. It is still a work in progress....but I just had to put it up for you. It is 16x20 on canvas board.













I am also working on one where they are loading watermelons into a boxcar.... itis also a work in progress....so much material...so little time...lol. This one is 8x10 on canvas.














Well, it is time for my lazy Saturday morning coffee and visit with my neighbor, so I will close for now. More to tell later!
