FOR SALE!
This is the photo by Glen I used for inspiration...
And, of course you know, there's another landscape waiting in the wings and I got a start on it as you can see...
Now what do you suppose I'm going to do with it next?
- I might have sent you to scroll through THIS gallery once before, but it's worth another look if I have (be sure to scroll down)
- And THIS one too! Oh, and how about THESE?
- I can't find the source for THIS little bit of awww-worthiness!

For your new project, I’m going to make a wild guess today and say that I think you might be going to add the old barn from the picture you took a while back. Whatever you do, I’m sure it will be beautiful. I love your latest completed landscape, old trucks and barns are very appealing to me. You nailed the truck dimensions perfectly when you slightly enlarged it.
ReplyDeleteGood guess but not quite! Thank you for your confidence in me. And yes, you can see that I love old vehicles and barns if all the projects I do are any indication!
DeleteIt turned out so well -- I like the detail you include (such as the window sash). No guesses for your next project -- that'll keep me tuned in.
ReplyDeleteI try to keep my version of the photo as much to the original as I can - at least for the buildings anyway. The background I sometimes take liberty with!
DeleteLovely finish on this one. I really love the grassy parts a lot!! Great job;)))
ReplyDeletei am looking forward to your next one--but I cannot imagine what it will be....perhaps am old timey wagon????
Hugs, Julierose
Thank you Julierose. Good guess, but not a wagon - although I have to say I'd love to find a photo of a great one to have a go at.
DeleteAnother fabulous landscape! I love the drama of the sky. It shows off the building and truck to perfection.
ReplyDeleteThe sky served a whole 'nother purpose - using up some scraps I couldn't bear to part with. They weren't big enough for anything else but cutting them up like this was perfect.
DeleteIt's so cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki!
DeleteWow. You captured the building and the truck so perfectly, Mary Anne. And, as always, I love your embroidery.
ReplyDeleteThis one didn't have a whole lot in the way of embroidery but I still can't resist adding at least a little bit.
DeleteHow about an old rusted bus on a dirt road?
ReplyDeleteSuch detailed work on the truck. I've never seen a one room school with all those windows. Very modern for its time, or maybe added later?
Love the saying. Unfortunately well describes the politics of the USA today.
Another great guess but not this time.
DeleteYes, I agree that seeing that many windows can be unusual for schoolhouse, but I suppose they would count on the sun to help with the heating.
