It is Done !

The old woman is finished, bless her heart! She thought wash day would never end!!! This is my very first person to have painted. Yeah, I know, I have a whole lot of improvement to do. This is from my series of laundry themed 24x36 paintings that I am doing for a friend. I am working hard to get these finished so I can move on to something else. There will be another I must do almost exactly like this one but I don't want a duplicate, hmmmm, will be changing it up somehow. Presently working on a 5x7 of a beautiful fall-changing tree for VolleyGirl's school's fundraiser. That should be finished later tonight or tomorrow. Wow, I'm thankful I don't have to clean my clothes in this manner. I have had quite a bit of experience in hanging clothes on the line when I was a junior high and high schooler. I particularly recall hanging out a line full one summer when temp was about 103. Glad to finish, free to go swim across the street. Sad when mom called informing me the line had broken, clothes on ground......went home.

  5. Your lady is terrific. She makes me tired thinking of all those clothes to hang out. Great job. Curious--why a series on laundry?
    (not that there's anything wrong with laundry!)
