Barking Mad!

Oops! I forgot the roots on two of the trees.  And I didn't gesso them either!

So... Back I went to the string and gesso.

I finished painting the other tree on that side and then reversed my direction.

I am very pleased with how the trees are looking.  I still have to do a lot of shading, but for a first coat, this isn't bad.

The nice thing about this technique is that I can go back in and add more anytime.

I am still not sure if I want to add two more trees. One on each side of the sliding door... Thinking about that...

The three sticks that you see laying on the front edge are contributions from Amare.  I am definitely going to find a home for them somewhere in the landscaping...

Meanwhile, I should get back to swimming in gesso and paint...

See you tomorrow.
