This morning began with an adventure into the history of this painting! A new patron who just purchased this painting in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri (in the future - May of 2025), asked for the time it was created. I nearly always date my paintings, but I had not. I nearly always post my paintings eventually, even when I'm so busy that multiple paintings are created, and I only post one per day. But, I had not. I couldn't find it by name, and next tried going to my photos for all stamped Sainte Genevieve. There I found it, and the reason it was not posted. I had taken a quick photo on the street as I finished, dashing in for a delightful breakfast at the Main Street Inn. We left town right afterward, and I did not realize until later that my image was blurred. I love painting in Sainte Genevieve, and have shared many happy times with family here. We are always looking forward to our next stay - which doesn't come often enough! This painting was actually 4297 in 4297 days. I'm pre-dating this post to keep the artwork in the era it was created. I know there are other paintings out there that have slipped through the cracks in my artistic journey, and I welcome the opportunity to get them back in line!
