The Roofer, 8x10 Oil on Canvas Board

I intended to paint a scene from my beach walk yesterday, but I looked out the window and saw this roofer on my neighbor's roof. The scene begged to be painted, so I obliged. He apparently had his shirt tied around his head.

The Junior League invited me to speak last week. I showed my art and talked about it, with a big plug to the Daily Painting movement. They were so gracious, and I had a wonderful time with them.

    Your painting has a simple theme, but it has a deep meaning. It simply shows that dirty hands and sun-exposed bodies can make, mend and clean beautiful and durable roofs. Hats off to you, Carmen.
