A Happy Mountain Scene

 This may not be a great piece of art, but it does represent progress and some accomplishment!!  Having had carpel tunnel surgery in 2007 and 2008--my painting ambition came to a halt and never got started again.  The mountain scene shown here--actually done on 2-- 8" x 10" canvas boards represents the first completed work since 2008.  It is something I didn't want to give up, and I feel there are some scenes to capture--so it was an exciting week.  The picture below--Mugg's Biddick Station" is one I've done several time, but I think there are a few still in me.  I actually have one completely sketched from years ago--as well as some other local scenes.  So, I hope I can continue.  I went through my paints and had to throw out some dried up tubes, got brushes together, and everything is ready by the easel.  Let's hope we get some time. 
Mugg's Biddick Station was located in Livingston, Wisconsin.
