Today was very cold on the hands to be painting outside. (When I got home, the themometer said 10 degrees C.) This house is adjacent to the old house I painted earlier. I noticed that the vandals have started destroying things around these deserted houses. Six bird feeders that were all intact yesterday are smashed today. Such a shame! Other old places that I used as subject matter have met disastrous fates also: one old shack was burned. I cannot understand such destruction.

In this effort, I think I have learned how to represent old shingles better. I'm getting used to using the triad of colours to their best advantage also.
