In going thru my old postings, especially the ones from the first year, came on this one - "Breakthrough"...

and it reminded me that at one time had in mind doing a series of landscapes [and perhaps some co-relating still life] wherein each was a complete painting in itself, yet the series comprised a grander landscape, also with its co-responding theming...back then, too many other matters competed for attention, and this idea got put on the backburner - and actually forgotten...

Time to revive it, am thinking...........

FINALLY finished the ground, so can now get on with doing the bamboo over the fence area - then measure the whole off to see just how much more to go to reach the 8 feet length..........

Slowly making more progress... despite pain in my wrist limiting time able to spend on this, am plodding along on the detailing of the ground - and when get that done will go to getting the bamboo all up in front of the fence...  then will unroll the whole and measure, so as not to go further than needs to...

beginning to fill in the new section... still lots of bamboo yet to do, enough to hide the fence actually...  then begins the detailing......

Slowly making my way across - now into another new section... needs break and get in those wires and birds, probably this weekend.......
