5″X7″ Oil on card Well the “blizzard” wasn’t nearly as bad around here as forecast, but I decided that I didn’t want to risk the rural roads to work anyway. I did some work at home and spent about an hour shovelling. I got off lightly because my s… [...] 7″X5″ Oil on board This year I built a small raised bed by the back door. I filled it with compost, last years leaves, two bags of manure and some peat moss. I planned on a nice orderly vegetable bed with some spinach and some onions, perhaps one or … [...] 7″X5″ Oil on board Every year I seem to need to torture myself by trying to paint peaches.
