My third painting: Hope soars amidst tragedy
My red barn painting is finally taking shape. It is far from a masterpiece...yet (remember dear reader, optimistic thinking). However, I am starting to have more fun with the painting as I gain confidence that it will at least be something I can hang around our home. No worries,...
