Day 10 - Painting is Finished!

Today is Day 10 and the painting is now finished, signed, and dated (year only). It was done entirely in the library, nothing painted at home. The final touches today included lettering “Berkshire Athenaeum” and “Public Library” on the building, doing a little highlighting and deepening of shadows, and adding “Bo”, the Obama’s pup. The painting portion of the project took just under 20 hours; however, some of that time was spent talking to visitors too. I always tried to get myself there early and be set up in order to spend the full 2 hours in place. And, I only got one parking ticket the entire month!

Here is the final photograph of the painting.
