I spent 7 hours today finishing up the Sculling Mural for the Punta Gorda Historic Mural Society. At one point I got so engrossed in my painting That I stepped into my bucket of water for cleaning my brushes! I carried on with a wet foot.

 The first thing I did today was finish the frame by painting the gold band. That was my least favorite thing that I planned on doing, so i got it out of the way.

 Then it was painting the people on the beach and the people on the sailboat, and adding contrast to the water in the foreground.

 Finally I added my name

I am not happy with the overall photo; the light was coming from the back and the colors are washed out. I will go back another day and take a better picture.
