I am in the process of exploring the color of this house and trying to match it. I have so many layers on it that I don’t really remember how many. LOL! This one is an 8×10, so it will be more difficult to get details. I am really looking forward to seeing it finished, though. It is a cloudless sky and there are lots of trees and plants.
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
— Claude Monet
exists to create art which reflects the beauty and the glory of God, to use art to comfort and encourage people, and to inspire others to pursue the arts. 
Keep trying, you’ll get there. It takes patience.
