Sweet Old Houseboat

Sweet Old Houseboat
My second painting on Friday was of this vintage houseboat that sits near the end of the public boardwalk in a conservancy area. She looks a little forlorn, and I was told that racoons have gotten into her and made a mess. How sad. She makes me dream... 

11" x 14"
Painted with the finest quality heavy-body acrylic paint on canvas panel

After what had seemed like an adventurous morning, it was pleasant to sit in the grass along the trail and paint, with the sun coming out mid-afternoon. But soon after I started working on this one, I found myself very bored with what I was painting. Believe me, that doesn't happen very often! I was SO bored, that I took a brush full of paint and just splashed it all over my start. And there it was! I found the interest that I had lost, and chose to change my composition and style just a bit. I really enjoyed working on it once I had loosened myself up a bit. And it was pleasant to talk to the many, many people out walking, biking, running, and just being out along the lake. 

1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in everything,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
