After making a cup of tea, I sat down for lunch with both the Still Life Group and the Outdoor Painters' Group, which is interesting as some just come in for the still life class, others just come in for the outdoor painters' afternoon and some of us belong to both groups.
It was soon time for me to open the Gallery, put out the signs and set myself up at the front desk on the upper level to wait for visitors.
While I wait, I pulled out one of the many barn sketches I did last year (see post on 28 September 2013).
I worked on this drawing on and off during the afternoon until I was pleased with the building and the drawing.
This original 3-1/4" x 9” pencil drawing when matted and shrink wrapped will be available for $30.00.
It wasn't long before the evening shift arrived and it was time for me to go home. Since it rained all day and the temperature stayed just above the freezing mark, 31F (-0.5C) I will be careful driving home as you never know at these temperatures and conditions if a patch of black ice has formed on the road.
