Number 1 of the September 2014 .... 30 in 30 Painting Challenge

And here I am again....I really thought I would have made quite a few posts between the last and this one.....however...life happens. I did however sign up for the new Leslie Saeta 30 in 30 Challenge...not so much to paint every day....which I do ....but to get back to blogging about it....
This challenge theme is "Things that move me....things that I really like"....I started with the little squirrel that live in my trees in front.....he loves the pine tree by the sidewalk....it is a tall lookout for him and the pecan tree is right next to it....
