Hope...painting almost done!

Thanksgiving weekend crept up on us about a week earlier than we thought it would be here....and we made no plans! Thank goodness we were saved from turkey abstinence by a last minute invitation to our pastor's home. And then the rest of the weekend was a fabulously unscheduled vacation for us.
I spent three solid days painting. I took pictures when I thought of it, which was pretty much when ever I took a break. I am almost done now...I think. Here's where it started and you can see that by the end of the weekend it was very different.
October 21st

Friday 2:10 pm re-doing the sky

Friday 4:23pm re-doing the sky again

Friday 5:18pm leaves!

Friday 7:0opm one tree becomes two

Friday 7:30pm second tree gets branches

Friday 8:00 leaf detail

Friday 8:00pm texture on pine trees (soon to be regretted)

Saturday 5:59pm pine tree on left taken out...involving lots of sanding and more texture to cover up where it used to be and re-doing sky.

Sunday 4:43pm "oh, it's going to be a birch tree!"

Sunday 7:14 no more log, textured leaves, change path, pine trees change color to balance the birch tree...and a myriad of branches...

There's still some things that are bugging me..and I will fix them soon, but there she is as of today!
