"Joe's House"... ready for shipment.




Framed and ready for shipment - "Joe's House" [on a July 4 morning]. All that's left now is a note to the client with photos of the painting in progress and a few inside stories, like the seagulls representing this home so close to the sea, or the small beam of light on the neighboring house of light through Joe's big bay windows that say how this great restoration "reflects" on the neighborhood..and more "artsy stuff" that motivated me a bit. Loved doing it. Now on to the next. I hope there is a nice "wall space" in it's future. Home is where your memories begin.

Those seagulls are too big - right?



I'll get to "downsizing" the seagulls this morning. Too bad because I like them very much and they are important as they indicate that this home is so close to the sea. The plein-air gold frame should arrive this week and then it's off for this home to find a home in Newport, RI.
