Hi!  It is mid summer now.  Lovely!  It is great to be living on a lake.  I can just take a dip in the lake when it gets too hot.  But the nice weather makes it hard to stay indoors and paint.

I was recently commissioned to paint an old two-handed saw to be raffled off for charity.  This was a challenge for me as I had never done anything like this before.  But it was fun!  I might try more metal tole painting in the future.

I think it turned out well!  I hope you agree! And I hope they get a good amount for the North Hastings Public Library (Bancroft) fund.
