"Lime and Cherries" Painting

Tomorrow morning, I'm giving a one hour painting demo to the Great Falls Seniors Association. In one hour, I'm really just getting started ... so "Lime and Cherries" was practice to see how much could be accomplished in about that time. (Usually a painting session is from four to eight hours ... and most paintings take multiple sessions.Although this took an hour and a half -- after I was set up with a rough sketch and my principal colors mixed. So, check back and see how I do tomorrow.

Short post. I've got to get ready, packed up and rested up for tomorrow's demo.
