Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
When you make a water color error - you say "I meant it to be that way."Especially after every part of the painting went well until you got to the cat.
An Old Cold Spot
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of the make and model that

well, two and a small shed.
cat on top of rickety shed in front of old barn, and the other barn just casting shadow. And the rickety shed had the old tin roof.
your're right. what is it.
more than I bargained for.
But I really liked the colors used
I think it's gorgeous.
You're inspiring me to look for a community ed painting class. I think it would be fun to do it with Deena.
But here in the boonies, opportunities like that are hard to find. I'll keep trying!
Great picture! My son loves to paint, draw barn scenes. He's pretty good at it, i'd like to get him into art lessons but there are none around here.
Are you going to write anymore about your grandfather? That was good stuff sista!
I really love the colors and the shadow is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
