It's always nice to go from nothing to something. It's hard to not feel like you have gotten a lot done. It isn't until you go from something to something more that you realize how much there is to do.

I am feeling pretty good about the composition of the painting at this point, but I can already tell that the building in the background is going to be a challenge. It is the same material as the wall in the foreground, but can't be painted in the same way, with the same colors or values. It might surprise me, but I'll have to keep my eye on it.
