FOG

Finished sailboat, reflection was painted on with fabric paint...then loons (there is always a pair on this lake) and finally the tulle fog was pinned on.  I will sew it on tomorrow.
Right now I am very late making dinner!  Hope you like it.  Oops!  Just noticed no reflection on the Loons.  Will have to do that before sewing down the fog.  Luckily I have not done that yet.

Pier & Rowboat

The pier is in the water!   It was a challenge but worked out well and got the right angle and perspective which is the most important part.  Opted to paint in the reflection with a wash of fabric paint.

It has all been quilted.   So next comes the focal point which is the white sailboat.  I have it sketched so should be able to work on it tomorrow and place it into the scene.

I enjoy this part so much because  these foreground pieces  unite everything together and it is only until they go in that you begin to feel the emotion of the piece.

Fish Shantie

Made some good progress today with the addition of two fish shanties.  I am happy with them ...it was my second selection and construction of these two buildings.   The first one were not good.and as hard as it was to undo...I took them off and changed them to these and it is so much better.  I will quilt them tomorrow before adding a few windows and doors to them.

Woke up to another 3 inches of snow....seems this winter is bringing 2 or three little snow storms each week instead of the big giant blizzard storm.  In some ways that is good as it is adding up to a decent depth for winter sports enthusiasts and removing  it is easier.  I sort of miss the big blizzard though, but maybe it is yet to come.
