Oak Grove Bridge Umpty-Eleven

After our road trip, I had a large family responsibility that kept me from painting. This had the effect of causing intense focus on the day that I was able to return to the easel. Have a look.

The painting was waiting on the easel with a note from my neighbor beneath it.
My neighbor left this note.
What is necessary?? Everything needs recoating and detailing.
So, I made a list.

The list was just a compilation of obvious tasks, but by having it in increments, I was able to be systematic and keep going, section by section. It was just a way of keeping my feet planted in front of the easel, because this was the only day I knew that would be available for painting in the foreseeable future.

The bridge, water, and “growies” on the right remain.
Hey! Are you Jackson or are you Georgia? (Remember, I went to Georgia via Jacksonville in April).
Gilligan and Ginger are both males, and now their names are Pippin and Lentz. It is still difficult to tell them apart.
Hey Central Calif. artist, stop playing with the kittens and get the bridge finished.
Stick a fork in it – it is done! Maybe. I might continue finding things to polish.

  1. Beautiful, Jana. Your meticulous but feeling “absolutely Jana” style is still the best! May your world get put upright again soon!

    • Thank you, Louise! I like this painting quite a lot. And thank you for your wishes on the state of my world. Sigh.
