Little Village

After my dad hung the painting I gave him for Father's Day,
he showed me how lonely it looked on the wall all by itself. So
I painted it a companion.  Now "Little Village" rooms with
"Return to Summer" (posted below).  As said by Felicia Bond,
the author  of one of my favorite children's books, "If you give
a mouse a cookie, he is going to ask for a glass of milk."
I already have paint brushes in hand for when this particular
mouse asks for a napkin. But, oh how I love that mouse!

German Village Morning

 

I painted this scene in my plein air class without the cars, because 

I was too darn chicken to try them.  I've never painted nor drawn cars,

and I'm not the best driver of them either.  The painting was 

COMPLETELY boring without them, so when I returned home,  I

faced my fears and repainted the scene from a photo reference. I am 

so proud of myself--they actually resemble cars.
