I was looking a the lowellsphotos link Tal posted. If you click on the link below it will take you to his Gallery 18 (titled Lake Sumter Landing 2). Just scroll down to the very last picture and you will see another shot of the facade to the public restroom.

Beautiful photography, thank you for sharing.

That's a neat photo of those public restrooms in Gallery 18 of Lowell's Photos. Could not see it until I got to a library computer because we have been having problems loading the lastest Flash.

I thought the shading and lighting made for a very beautiful picture.

I am not artist so don't paint like gracie does. I am trying to figure out a way to copy the pic so I can frame it. However, there is some sort of "protect" on the lowell print and it won't let me copy it.

There must be a way and I'm trying to figure it out.

I am painting that picture now and all of the angles are making me cuss. It is not a fun painting, more like drawing and then coloring in. I am off on some of my angles and I came here to the computer to let off steam before I go up and white out my mistakes. When you come to my house and see it, might be good idea to lie. ;D

I'm good at stenciling...because I don't have to freehand anything. I'm also good at tracing... ;D Then there is the overhead projector...wish I could hug and kiss that inventor!

But, freehand...no way!

Just think of your final product...whiteout or not.

I admire your talent and wish I had been so blessed.

I also love painting! white out? Are you using watercolor paints? I paint oil on canvas. I need some new brushes, then watch out! It is so relaxing to me. I won't get anything else done for a day or two! Would love to see your finished painting!

The blessing of painting with acrylics is that if you don't like a part you can paint over it. I sometimes will cancel out dark areas with white before I embark again. I am thinking of learning to swear in yet another language. Altogether it is fun, but like sewing requires some patience, my very shortest suit.

Not Gauguin,
