04/02/19 #67 First of Many Key West Houses


We got back from our Florida excursion late Sunday, wow!  It was a great trip!  We got to laze about in Key West, and then we went to Tampa to spend a few days with my son Matt, his wife Eva and their 9 month old baby, Luke.  He is the greatest baby ever born, always happy, always interested in what's going on.  Matt and Eva are wonderful parents!  So, I spent yesterday after work sorting through the myriad of fantastic pictures I took over the previous week.  Key West has the most interesting old, little houses throughout their town, many built by ship-builders, painted all kinds of bright colors.  So I took a walk one day snapping pictures of colorful or maybe just interesting, houses....intending to paint them when I get home.  I have about 100 different houses to paint now!  Today, I decided to paint the first (of many).  For unknow reasons I picked up a wrapped canvas that had been painted with a background color of tan.  It's only 4 inches square, so it's tiny.  I really had 5 inch boards in mind for the houses.  The next one will be on that....and no under-color, as I want it as bright as possible.
