Snow Hill Paint Out – Day 4
Last evening I finished my third and last landscape painting for the Paint Out. The background trees were just not the right color and some of the other paint was thin or streaked, so I repainted most of the picture. This morning I planned to frame the 3 paintings, take them to Snow Hill and hang them. But I had a big problem! The frames for these paintings are new to me and a different kind of wood than that to which I was accustomed. It was oak and needed a drill before a screw would go in! I hadn’t planned on that happening and my drill was not charged! Time was running out and the drill just did not charge fast enough!
A friend made several calls for me and Bill, the owner of the Auction House, was kind enough to use his drill to make the holes and put in the screws. I got to the show site on time and talked with many of the other artists, old friends and new, but didn’t sell a thing!
