Finish a Painting in One Day

I don't usually finish a painting in one day, but I did this one. I used acrylic paints because they dry much faster. It wasn't a small painting either. The size is 3 x 2 feet (90 x 60 cm) It took a long time but well worth it. I love to paint trees. This one is full of color as a symbol of the life trees give us. It's title is "Color Wrap".

Remove a Tree From My Driveway

Finding a tree across my driveway after an afternoon storm, right when I was headed out with a friend, was not what I expected for this evening. Since I can go nowhere, the only thing left to do is remove the tree so I will be able to get to the airport in the morning. Yes, I do have a chainsaw just for this purpose. I live in the woods.
I must add that I am very glad it didn't fall on my house. It did take out two other trees and a wonderful spruce tree that was once a Christmas tree and I had planted in my yard. At least I can get in and out of my house now and I got it off the driveway before dark. I have more work to do to remove the rest of the tree from the yard, but one good thing is that I have firewood for this winter now.
