Painting #7...Done with a Week of Painting a Day!

This is the last painting of my Painting a Day experiment. I painted it on the porch of my brother-in-law's condo in Ephraim, WI. This is the view overlooking Eagle Harbor on the Green Bay side of the Door County peninsula. This area is more well-known for its spectacular sunsets. I suppose I will do a sunset version of this painting some day. I am relieved in a sense to be finished with my commitment to do a painting a day. I wouldn't be honest if I did not admit it was difficult at times. But I learned that painting with discipline is not only strenuous physically and mentally, but it also intrudes seriously with everyday life and family activities. I have always neglected my painting for the sake of family. I have to learn to strike a better balance in order to produce more. I will try to benefit from this experience to pursue larger, more serious work during the remainder of the summer.
