Dora’s Windmill  

Dora asked me to paint the windmill that is in her yard. At the time, I must have been drinking, because I said, “Sure. I can do that.” The canvas is 2’x3′. Big… As Dora commented, “Go big or go home.”

So, we took a picture.

Then I made a first attempt that did not work out, so I made some notes for the second.

I painted this bit almost two years ago and then set it aside. I had no idea how to proceed. 

A few weeks ago, Dora took a picture of something, then commented on the empty space, apparently reserved for her windmill. This weekend, I went to work on it and actually finished. I’m very pleased with the end result. I hope she is too.
