3. Love your painting....

It must be hard to be struggling with your focus and attention span, but your painting is lovely. It really is.

I am an artist.....well, I should clarify and say that I used to be an artist. I haven’t painted in years. But I really do like your technique. There is a freshness and spontaneity to it, which I very well know is not easy to achieve.

When I was in art school, we students constantly struggled with being too “tight“ and perfectionistic when painting, and our teachers would encourage us to loosen up and be more bold with our brushstrokes. Some students were never able to achieve that.

I also love your colors, so beautifully juxtaposed. You know, I am not familiar with the old Cherryfield General Store, but I feel as though I am standing right there, taking in the view and imagining all sorts of scenarios that might have taken place inside those walls years ago.

It is a little piece of history, isn’t it?

I hope you enjoyed painting it. I have certainly enjoyed looking at it!

(And you’ve inspired me to paint!)
